• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See

"Electrical Requirements."

• A sturdy floor to support the dryer with a total weight (dryer and load) of 200 Ibs (90.7 kg).

[he combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. (If slope is greater

than 1" [2.5 cm], install Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810.) Clothes may not

tumble properly and dryers with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if

dryer is not level.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Dryer Dimensions

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7cm)clearance behind the dryer for the

exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting Requirements."

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

]he following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested

for spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be

considered for the following reasons:

• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be r_quit_cl for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.

• For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom

of the door are required. I.ouvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are

acceptable.

• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

serving only this dryer be provided.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

• For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding 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 representative

or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Explosion Hazard
