INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Location
Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,
or recessed area.
Companion appliance location requirements should also
be considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it
will be exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your
responsibility.
You will need:
n A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
n A sturdy and solid floor to support the dryer with a total
weight (load) of 204 kg (450 lbs).
Installation clearances
n The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to be fully opened.
n Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
n Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
n Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. The
dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door,
or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer
in such a way that a full opening of the dryer door is restricted.
For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer or in
"Dimensions/Clearances."
The installation spacing is in millimeters 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 unobstructed air
opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors
with equivalent air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
NOTE: For installation in Australia and New Zealand, refer
to AS/NZS 5601.1 for ventilation requirements.
