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 inches(2.Scm) 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.
