accessories available for your dryer.

Location Requirements

You will need

■A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.

See “Venting Requirements.”

■A separate 30-amp circuit.

■If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical

outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer.

See “Electrical Requirements.”

■A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs

(90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance

should also be considered.

■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire

dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer

Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. Clothes may not tumble properly

and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is

not level.

■For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least

18" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need

18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the dryer.

■Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within

4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi

(137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from

your washer using the “Y” connector provided.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At

lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an

automatic sensor cycle. This can result in longer drying times.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,

installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
