Pedestal

Are you placing the dryer on a pedestal? You may purchase a
pedestal separately for this dryer. This pedestal will add about
13" (33 cm) to the height of your unit for a total height of
approximately 51" (130 cm).

Optional pedestal

To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer or
refer to the “Assistance or Service” section of this manual. Ask
for Part Number LAB2700PMT (Meteorite) or LAB2700MQ0
(White).

Stack Kit

Are you planning to stack your washer and dryer? To do so, you
will need to purchase a Stack Kit.

To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer or
refer to the “Assistance or Service” section of this manual. Ask
for Part Number 8541503.

Location Requirements

You will need

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting
Requirements.”

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 dryer weight 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 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 an additional 6" (15.24 cm).

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. This can result in longer drying times.

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 fully open the dryer
door.

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.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Dryer Dimensions

*Most installations require a minimum 5½" (14 cm) clearance

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

installation

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
