CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION
• Store and install the dryer where it will not be
exposed to temperatures below freezing or
exposed to outdoor weather conditions.
• Choose a location with a solid, level floor.
• If the dryer is being installed in a garage,
place the dryer at least 18 in. (46 cm) above
the floor.
CLEARANCES
• Most installations require a minimum 5½ in.
(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the
exhaust ducting.
• Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in.
(2.5 cm) on the sides and back to minimize
vibration and noise.
• Allowing additional clearance for installation and
servicing is recommended.
• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings
that may increase the required clearances.
• Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) in front of the dryer
to open the door.
