Installation Spacing For Recessed Area Or Closet Installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of
1 inch(Z54cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following
reasons:
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door
and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing should be considered on all sides
of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door. minimum
ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the
door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent
ventilation openings are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
@ NOTE
here should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
ibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other
using paint damage and making even more noise.
