Location Requirements

If installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
I Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit
installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
I Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and
bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit
adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See
"Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" on next
page for minimum spacing requirements.
NOTE: The dryer must not be installed in an area where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
