RECESSED AREA/CLOSET
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Check governing codes and ordinances.
This laundry center may be installed in
a recessed area or closet.
The laundry center must not be installed
where it can be exposed to water and/or
weather.
• Proper operation of washer cycles
requires temperatures above 32°F
(at lower temperatures, some water
may remain in washer). See page 54
for Winterizing Information.
• Proper operation of dryer cycles
requires temperatures above 45°F (at
lower temperatures, the dryer may not
shut off at the end of automatic cycles
and drying times will be extended).
• Use at least the minimum installation
spacings described on page 17. This
will ensure you have an adequate
clearance for service and proper
operation including flow of combustion
and ventilation air, and that you have
a sufficient distance from combustible
construction.
• Be sure your location allows for a
proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
See pages 26-31 for complete exhaust
requirements.
• Check code requirements. Some
codes limit or do not permit installation
of laundry centers in garages, closets,
mobile homes, or sleeping quarters.
Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No fuel burning appliances
may be installed in the same closet
as the laundry center.
Laundry Center Dimensions
Most installations wilt require at least
5-inch clearance behind the dryer for
