such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm)
above the floor for a garage

• A location that allows for proper
exhaust installation. A gas dryer must
be exhausted to the outdoors. See
"Venting Requirements."

within 2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the
dryer. See "Electrical Requirements."
• A sturdy floor to support the dryer with
a total weight (dryer and load) of 200
Ibs (90.7 kgs).

1 in. (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. (If
slope is greater than 1 in. [2.5 cm],
install Extended Dryer Feet kit, Part
No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble
properly and dryers with automatic
sensor cycles may not operate
correctly if dryer is not level.
Do not operate or store your dryer in a
location with year-round 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.
Install the dryer where it is protected from
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.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance
can be installed in the same closet as a
dryer.
