Optional Pedestal

Are you placing the dryer on a pedestal? You have the option of 
purchasing pedestals of different heights separately for this dryer. 
You may select a 10" (254 mm) pedestal or a 15.5" (394 mm) 
pedestal with a storage drawer. The pedestal will add to the total 
height of the dryer for a total height of approximately 
46" (1168 mm) or 51.5" (1308 mm), respectively.     

For a garage installation, you will need to place the 10" (254 mm) 
pedestal at least 9" (229 mm) above the floor. You will need to 
place the 15.5" (394 mm) pedestal at least 3" (76 mm) above the 
floor.    

To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer or 
refer to the “Assistance or Service” section.

Location Requirements 

■

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas 
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting 
Requirements.”

■

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

■

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 
dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [25 mm], install Extended 
Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble 
properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate 
correctly if dryer is not level.

■

For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer 

 

at least 18" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you 
will need 18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the 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.
