conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

mobile home, please refer to STEP 9 below for

additional instructions.

Installing Your Dryer in a Closet or Recessed

Area. Following are instructions concerning and the

minimum clearances required for any closet, recessed

area, or customized under-counter installation:

• Additional spacing should be considered for

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.
