Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. Read "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting Requirements" before purchasing parts. Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For further information, please refer to the Quick Start Guide for service contact information. Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. 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. You will need: � For vented models: A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements." � A separate 30 A circuit for electric dryers. � If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See "Electrical Requirements." � A sturdy floor to support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also, consider the combined weight of the companion appliance. � For steam dryers: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-120 psi (138-827 kPa). You may use the water supply for your washer using the necessary parts as noted (which you may need to purchase). � Level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under the entire dryer. If the slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit. If not level, clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly. � For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm) to bottom of the dryer. � The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. IMPORTANT: Do not operate dryer 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. 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 the dryer door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in the door are required. 8
