For proper drying performance:
The location must provide:
• Protection from weather and
water: Do not store or use dryer
where it will be exposed to water and
weather.
• Room temperature above 7°C
(45°F): If room temperature is below
7°C (45°F), automatic cycles may not
shut off.
• Level floor: Maximum slope under
entire dryer should not be more than
2.5 cm (I inch). If slope is greater
than 2.5 cm (1 inch), install Extended

automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.

sure the room has an adequate air
supply for drying operation. The
operation of this appliance may affect
the operation of other gas appliances
which take their air supply for safe
combustion from the same room. If in
doubt consult the appliance
manufacturers.

be exhausted outdoors to prevent
large amounts of lint and moisture
from accumulating and to maintain
drying efficiency.
