A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either 
side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■

A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of 

 

200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion 
appliance should also be considered.

■

Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the water fill 
valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). You 
may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y” 
connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.

■

20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

■

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 
dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At 
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an 
automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be 
exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, 
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or 
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same 
closet as a dryer.

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open 
fully. 

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (127 mm) clearance 

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting 
Requirements.”

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. 
This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the 
sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the 
following reasons:

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation 
and servicing.

■

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor 
moldings.

■

Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer 
to reduce noise transfer.

■

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings 
in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors 
with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. 

■

Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of the 
dryer to either the right or left side.

*Required spacing
