LOCATION REQUIREMENTS DRYER DIMENSIONS 27" (685 mm) 401/2" (1027 mm) You will need: ■■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements." ■■ A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and 30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers. ■■ If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See "Electrical Requirements." ■■ Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also consider weight of companion appliance. ■■ Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly. ■■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above floor. IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times. NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer. 53" (1341 mm) 30" (762 mm) 11/4" (32 mm) 43 1/4" (1096 mm) 30" (762 mm) A B A. Wide opening side-swing door B. Wide opening hamper door *Most installations require a minimum 6" (152 mm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting Requirements." INSTALLATION CLEARANCES For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. 5
