You will need
•
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See "Venting
Requirements."
•
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of
either side of the dryer. See "Electrical Requirements."
•
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 Ibs
(90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance
should also be considered.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (2.5 cm), 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" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will
need an additional 6" (15.24 cm).
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. 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.

•
Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended
to reduce noise transfer.
•
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
