INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

The following instructions will help guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer for use.
Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and
use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any
installation or use. More detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and
exhaust requirements are provided at other parts of this manual.
STEP 1 Positioning the Dryer.
Choose a location with a solid floor for your dryer.
Place the dryer at least eighteen inches above the
floor for a garage installation. After placing the
dryer in the desired location, please make sure that
it has the required clearances shown below, and
sections on Exhaust and Maintenance requirements.

* Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 in.
(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust
vent with elbow.
Note
Level the dryer using the leveling legs and tighten
the adjusting nuts to hold them in place.
All four legs should be placed firmly on a solid
and even floor.
If the dryer is not level, the clothes will not tumble
properly and the sensor will not be able to detect
the dryness level accurately.
Adjust the leveling legs carefully to avoid injury.
Note
No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed
in the same closet as the dryer.
This applies only to dryers suitable for installation
in a closet.
WARNING
The appliances are heavy.
Two or more people are required when moving
or installing the appliance.
There is a risk of serious back injury or other injuries.

shown below. Those required minimum clearances
are set forth in the picture below. Please also keep the
following instructions in mind when installing in a

installation and servicing.
• Wall, door and floor molding may force additional
clearances.

minimize noise transfer .
