Recessed and Closet Installation Instructions

This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. (Fig. 5)
The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be
considered for ease of installation, servicing and compliance with local codes and ordinances. If
closet door is installed, the minimum of unobstructed air openings in top and bottom is required.
Louvered doors with equivalent air openings are acceptable. Closet installation must be exhausted.
Only recessed installations with no cabinet or shelf above the dryer need not be exhausted. Non-
exhausted recessed installations require an exhaust deflector.
Other installations must use the minimum dimensions indicated.
To prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from accumulating and to maintain drying efficiency, this
appliance must be exhausted outdoors.
Note: No fuel burning appliance may be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
! WARNING WARNING
Potential Fire Hazard
The dryer must be exhausted outside. If dryer is installed in a closet, the
dryer MUST be exhausted outside. Failure to do so increases the risk of
fire.
