Installation spacing for recessed area
or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing
allowed.
■
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, floor
moldings, and dryer venting.
■
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer to reduce noise transfer.

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
