A. SELECT LOCATION FOR

YOUR DRYER

Selecting the proper location for your

dryer makes installation easy and gives

you the best drying performance.

STANDARD INSTALLATION

Check location where dryer will be installed.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

Make sure you have everything necessary

for correct installation (see illustration

below).

The dryer must not be installed where it can

be exposed to water and/or weather.

• Proper operation of dryer cycles

requires temperatures above 45°F (at

lower temperatures, the dryer may not

shut off at the end of automatic cycles and

drying times will be extended).

• Use at least the minimum installation

spacings described on page 12. This will

ensure you have an adequate clearance

for service and proper operation including

flow of combustion and ventilation air, and

that you have a sufficient distance from

combustible construction.

• Be sure your location allows for a

proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer

must be exhausted to the outdoors.

See pages 18-22 for complete exhaust

requirements.

• Check code requirements. Some

codes limit or do not permit installation

of clothes dryers in garages, closets,

mobile homes, or sleeping quarters.

Contact your local building inspector.

Support: Floor must be sturdy

enough to support a total weight

of 175 lbs (includes dryer and

load weight).

Level floor: Maximum

allowable slope under

entire dryer – 1 in.

Grounded receptacle:

Within 2 ft of either

side of dryer.

6 Ft.Max.

Shut-off valve:

No further than

6 ft away from

dryer.

Rigid gas supply line:

Approved for natural

gas use.

6 ft

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors,

such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches

(46 cm) above the floor for a garage

installation.

Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.
