A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of

either side of the dryer. See "Electrical Requirements."

installations)

Safety glasses

Caulking gun and

new exhaust vent)

Gloves

Wire stripper (direct wire

installations)

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under

entire dryer. (If slope is greater than 1 in. [2.5 cm], install

Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 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.

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

fully.

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet

installation

The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing

allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing.

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and

floor moldings.

Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is

recommended 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.
