Location Requirements - Whirlpool YLEW0050PQ0 Use & Care Manual

Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
Dryer Dimensions
(se.1 _ )
*Most installations require a minimum 51/2 '' (14.0 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbows. See "Venting
Requirements."
Installation spacing for recessed area and closet
installations
The following spacing dimensions shown are recommended
when the dryer is to be operated with, or without, the Stack Kit.
This dryer has been tested for installation with spacing of
0" (0 cm) clearance; however, spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) clearance is
recommended. Recommended spacing should be considered for
the following reasons:
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation opening are
acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
To purchase a Stack Kit, see "Assistance or Service."

Mobile Home - Additional Location Requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations.
The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:

Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.
