Location Requirements
You will need
■
A location that allows 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 you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
■
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs
(90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance
should also be considered.
■
A level floor with a 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. 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
18" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need
18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the dryer.
■
Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within
4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi
(137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from
your washer using the "Y" connector provided.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic sensor 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.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
