Minimum Distances

Important information

concerning

minimum

distances:

-

If

the

washer

is

to

be

installed

with

a

dryer

so

that

the

fronts

of

the

appliances

are

to

be

flush

with

one

another

it

is

necessary to

allow

additional rear

clearance

for

the

dryer

venting

system.

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
