LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable
materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 460 mm (18 inches) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
Select proper location for your dryer to improve performance
and minimize noise. 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.
You will need:
[]
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. The
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See "Venting
Requirements."
[]
A floor that will support the dryer and a total weight (dryer
and load) of 90,7 kg (200 Ibs). The combined weight of a
companion
appliance should also be considered.
[]
A level floor with maximum slope of 25 mm (1 ") under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 25 mm (1"), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly and models
with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if
dryer is not level.
[]
It is important to make sure the room has an adequate air
supply for drying operation. The operation of this appliance
may affect the operation of other appliances which take their
air supply for safe combustion from the same room.
[]
Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid a backflow
of gases into the room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires. If in doubt consult the appliance
manufacturers.
iMPORTANT: The dryer must not be installed or stored in an
area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. 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. Drying times can be extended.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
