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.

clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should
be considered for the following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
■ 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.
