Location Requirements 
You will need
A location that allows proper exhaust installation. See “Venting 
Requirements.”
A separate 30-amp circuit.
If using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet 
 
within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical 
Requirements.”
A sturdy floor to support total dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). 
Also consider combined weight of a companion appliance.
A level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer 
Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. Clothes may not tumble properly 
and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is 
not level.
For a garage installation,  place dryer at least 18" (457 mm) 
above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (457 mm) to 
bottom of dryer.
Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 
 
4 ft. (1.2 m) of dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi 
 
(137.9-689.6 kPa). Cold water supply may come from 
 
washer using “Y” connector provided.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At 
lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of  an 
automatic sensor cycle, possibly resulting in longer drying times.
Do not install or store dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or 
weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, 
installation of dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping 
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Installation clearances
Location must be large enough to allow dryer door to open fully.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. 
Dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides 
and rear. Consider recommended spacing for  following reasons:
Consider additional spacing for ease of installation and service.
May need additional clearance for wall, door, and floor moldings.
Consider additional spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise 
transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings 
in the top and bottom of the door are required. Equivalent 
ventilation openings in louvered doors are acceptable.
Consider spacing for companion appliance.
Additional space required for rear exhaust of dryer to right or left.

Mobile home - Additional installation requirements
Dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. Installation must 
conform to Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, 
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home 
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/
CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase from 
your dealer.
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce 
outside air into dryer. Openings (such as a nearby window) 
should be at least twice as large as dryer exhaust opening.
