LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.
■
See "Venting Requirements."
A separate 30-amp circuit for electric dryers.
■
A separate 15- or 20-amp circuit for gas dryers.
■
If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical
■
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
A sturdy floor to support dryer and a total weight (dryer
■
and load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C).
At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end
of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
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.
Installation clearances:
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
Most installations require a minimum 5½" (140 mm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting
Requirements."
