Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to 
open fully. 
Dryer Dimensions
*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) clearance 
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting 
Requirements.”
Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this 
dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 cm) 
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
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 Standard CAN/CSA-
Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for 
purchase from your dealer.
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.
Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only
It is your responsibility
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in 
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. 
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply 
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved 
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: 
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, 
Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 
60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt 
electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a 
separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A 
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect 
to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the 
neutral or grounding circuit. 
Do not use an extension cord.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 
ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of 
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions 
provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire 
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is 
permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) 
within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical 
supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be 
removed from the external ground connector (green screw), 
and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) 
of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is 
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of 
the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the 
neutral conductor.
