Minimum Distances
Important information concerning
minimum distances:
- If the washer is to be installed with
a dryer so that the fronts of the
appliances are to be flush with one
another it is necessary to allow
additional rear clearance for the
dryer venting system. Depending
on the location of the exhaust air
connection, a minimum distance
of 5 ¼ inch (13.4 cm) must be
provided for ducts/brackets (see
dryer installation instructions).
- Benefits of maintaining greater
distance (clearances) than the
minimum shown include:
reduction of the risk of mold
S
formation behind the appliances.
reduced noise transmission
S
S facilitation of installation and
service.
more air cools the dryer, keeps
S
the dryer from overheating, and
improves drying performance.
- If the washer and dryer are to be
installed in a small room, the doors
of the room must be fitted with
vents of a specified minimum size.
Refer to the following illustrations
of enclosed installations for
additional information.
- Allow additional clearance for
door, wall and window molding
where necessary.
