t_,,_ [X_I!;_ _ 1 The location must be large enough to fully open the dryer door.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
You will need
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas
laundry center must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
"Venting Requirements."
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of
either side of the laundry center. See "Electrical
Requirements."
• A sturdy floor to support the laundry center weight (laundry
center, water and load) of 500 Ibs (226.8 kg).
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under
entire laundry center. Clothes may not tumble properly and
automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is
not level. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
• A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the
washer.
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 f1 (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-199 psi
(34.5-689.6 kPa).
Install the laundry center where it is protected from water and/or
weather.
Do not operate your washer in temperatures 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 in 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.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.

allowed.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.

floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Rear clearance may be 0 in. when house exhaust system is
lined up directly with dryer exhaust.
