Kenmore 8519319A Use & Care Manual page 6

• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at
least 18 in. (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you
will need an additional 6 in. (15.24 cm).
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.
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.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to fully open the dryer door.

Requirements."
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area, custom
undercounter or closet installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing
allowed.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended 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 openings are
acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
