properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly if dryer is not level.

least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will
need 18" (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
