Explosion Hazard
Keep fiararaable materials and vapors, such as

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 rata) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See
"Venting Requirements."
• A separate 30-amp circuit.
• If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
• A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load)
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" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [25 mm], install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810.) Clothes may not tumble
properly and models with automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.
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.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
