nections and exhaust requirements.
CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION

• If the dryer is being installed in a garage, place the
dryer at least 18 inches (45.7cm) above the floor.
• Properly ground the dryer to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.

the dryer in damp or wet locations.

(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for
the exhaust ducting.
• Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in.
