LOCATION REQUIREMENTS INSTALLATION CLEARANCES Location must be large enough to allow dryer door to open fully. DRYER DIMENSIONS Dryer with extended back: Dryer with flat back: You will need: ■■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements." ■■ A separate 30 amp circuit. ■■ 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), 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, place dryer at least 18" (457 mm) above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (457 mm) to bottom of dryer. ■■ Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply for your washer using the "Y" connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided. 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. 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. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. Back view: Bottom view: NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 5" (127 mm) clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting Requirements." 4
