Optional Pedestal
Are you placing the dryer on a pedestal? You have the option of
purchasing pedestals of different heights separately for this dryer.
You may select a 10" (25.4 cm) pedestal or a 15.5" (39.4 cm)

pedestal at least 9" (22.9 cm) above the floor. You will need to
place the 15.5" (39.4 cm) pedestal at least 3" (7.6 cm) above the
floor.

please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME

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 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 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.
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.
