See "Electrical Requirements." ■■ A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered. ■■ Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves. You may use the water supply for your washer using the "Y" conector and short hose (if needed) which are provided. ■■ Water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance. ■■ 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.) If not level, clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly. ■■ For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above the floor. ■■ If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. IMPORTANT: Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Installation clearances: The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully. 15/16" (33 mm) Side view: Door open view: 30 7/8 " (783 mm) 53" (1346 mm) 231/2" (597 mm) 4
