■ 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 No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble
properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly if dryer is not level.
■ For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at
least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will
need 18" {46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7“C). 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.
NOTE:
No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area, custom
undercounter or closet installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing

■ 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" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
