WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not install in a garage.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of
■
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
If installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit
■
installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and
■
bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit
adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See
"Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" below
for minimum spacing requirements.
NOTE: The dryer must not be installed in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet.
For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer.
The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes
and ordinances.

in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent
air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
