Exhaust

The location must allow for proper exhaust installation. The gas dryer must exhaust directly to the outdoors and not into a crawl space or attic.

Electricity

Use an individual, grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the appliance.Do not install or store the appliance in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.Check code requirements that limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. If you have questions, contact your local building inspector.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the appliance must be installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm). If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for the unevenness of the floor.A sturdy floor is needed to support the total appliance weight when loaded. The combined weight of additional appliances should also be considered.Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if the appliance is not level.For garage installation, you will need to place the appliance at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. The standard pedestal height is 15 inches (38 cm). You will need 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the garage floor to the bottom of the appliance.

Ambient Temperature

Install the appliance in an area where the temperature is over 45 ℉ (7 ℃).If the temperature around the appliance is too low, the appliance might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.

Dimensions and Clearances

The following clearances are recommended for the appliance.Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.-DescriptionDimension/ClearanceAUpper Ventilation Opening2 48 sq. in.

One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.-DescriptionDimension/ClearanceAUpper Ventilation Opening2 48 sq. in.
