Parts needed: (Not supplied with dryer)
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting.
See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements”
before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, please refer to the “Assistance
or Service” section in your “Use and Care Guide.”
Optional Equipment: (Not supplied with dryer)
Refer to your “Use and Care Guide” for information about
accessories available for your dryer.
Location Requirements
You will need:
■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See
“Venting Requirements.”
■ A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and
30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
■
If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support dryer and a total weight (dryer
and load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
■ Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
above floor.
■ Steam models only: Cold water faucet located within 4 ft.
(1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100
psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply for your
washer using the “Y” connector and short hose which are
provided.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it
will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
45° F (7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut
off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying
times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Installation clearances:
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances and
clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be
large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides
of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door
is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
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.
