WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and
vapours, such as gasoline, away
from dryer.
Place dryer at least 46 cm
(18 inches) above the floor for a
garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
For proper drying performance you will
need:
• A location that allows for proper exhaust
installation. A gas dryer must be
exhausted to the outdoors. See "Venting
requirements."
• An earthed electrical outlet located within
61 cm (2 ft) of either side of the dryer.
See "Electrical requirements."
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer
weight of 90.7 kg (200 lbs). The
combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of
2.5 cm (1 in.) under entire dryer. If slope
is greater than 2.5 cm (1 in.), install
Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number
279810. Clothes may not tumble properly
and automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.

• For a garage installation, you will need to
place the dryer at least
46 cm (18 in.) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need an additional
15.24 cm (6 in.).
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures
below 7°C (45°F). At lower temperatures,
the dryer might not shut off at the end of
an automatic cycle. This can result in
longer drying times.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in
an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes
limit, or do not permit, installation of the
dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local
building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance
can be installed in the same closet as a
dryer.
Air supply
It is important to make sure the room has
an adequate air supply for gas combustion
and drying operation. An open air inlet into
the room of minimum cross-section area

the appliance is operating. The operation
of this appliance may also affect the
operation of other gas appliances which
take their air supply for safe combustion
from the same room. If in doubt, consult
the other appliance manufacturer.
Installation clearances
• The location must be large enough to
fully open the dryer door.
• Additional spacing should be considered
for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required
for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 2.5 cm (1 in.) on all
sides of the dryer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer.
• Companion appliance spacing should
also be considered.
