gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need:
@ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.
See "Venting Requirements."
@ Aseparate 30 amp circuit for electric dryers.
@ Aseparate 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 Ibs. (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 5%" (140 mm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting
Requirements."
