INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Check codes requirements. Some
codes limit or do not permit installation of
clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile
homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your
local building inspector.
• This dryer may be installed in a recessed
area or closet. If closet door is installed,
the minimum unobstructed air openings in
top and bottom are required. Louvered
doors with equivalent air openings are
acceptable.
• Your dryer needs a certain amount of
space around it for proper ventilation and
for easier installation and servicing. The
following minimum installation spacings are
required when the unit is to be operated
with or without the Stack Stand Kit. To
purchase a Stack Stand Kit, see the
“Assistance or service” section. For ease of
installation and service, additional spacing
should be considered.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
this appliance MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
NOTE: No fuel-burning appliances may be
installed in the same closet as a dryer.
