Installation spacing for recessed area  
or closet
The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.
 
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 
installation and servicing.
 
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and 
floor moldings.
 
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is 
recommended 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.
Mobile home – Additional installation 
requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The 
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home 
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction  
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian 
Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
 
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase.  
For further information, please reference the “Assistance  
or Service” section of the “Use and Care Guide.”
 
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to 
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such  
as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large  
as the dryer exhaust opening.
