Depending on the location of the exhaust air connection, a minimum distance of 5 ¼ inch (13.4 cm) must be provided for ducts/brackets (see dryer installation instructions). - Benefits of maintaining greater distance (clearances) than the minimum shown include: S reduction of the risk of mold formation behind the appliances. S reduced noise transmission S facilitation of installation and service. S more air cools the dryer, keeps the dryer from overheating, and improves drying performance. - If the washer and dryer are to be installed in a small room, the doors of the room must be fitted with vents of a specified minimum size. Refer to the following illustrations of enclosed installations for additional information. - Allow additional clearance for door, wall and window molding where necessary.
