See "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting Requirements" before
purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, call 1-844-553-6667 (U.S.) or
1-800-469-4663 (Canada).

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See
■
"Venting Requirements."
A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and
■
30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located
■
within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See "Electrical
Requirements."
Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also
■
consider weight of companion appliance.
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly.
For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
■
above floor.
Steam models only: Cold water faucet located within
■
4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply
for your washer using the "Y" connector and short hose which
are provided.
If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is
■
recommended to control the buildup of scale through the
water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime
scale may clog different parts of the water system, which
will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup
may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it will
be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below 45° F
(7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at
end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
