Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet
installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacings
allowed.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi
(34.5-689.6 kPa). •
The laundry center must not be installed or stored in an area
where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below
32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See "Vacation, Storage and Moving
Care" for winterizing information.
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.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the laundry center in garages, closets, mobile
homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building
inspector.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
Rear clearance may be 1" (2.5 cm) when house exhaust
system is lined up directly with dryer exhaust.
