Installation Clearances

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

fully.
Dryer Dimensions

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (127 mm) clearance

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting

Requirements.”

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this

dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm)

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 required 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.

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are

acceptable.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
