Installation spacing for recessed area  
or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing 
allowed. 
 
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 
installation and servicing.
 
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, floor 
moldings, and dryer venting.
 
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.
* 0" (0 mm) spacing is allowed.
