Location Requirements

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements."
A separate 30-amp circuit.
If you are using a power supply cord, 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 total weight (dryer and load) of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The
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 models with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if
dryer is not level.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At 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.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.
