INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WASHER AND DRYER DIMENSIONS / OPTIONAL PEDESTALS / STACKING KITS
CLEARANCES
Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2in. clearance behind
the dryer for the exhaust ducting. Allow minimum clearances of
at least 1 in. 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 21" in
front of the dryer to open the door.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are installing your dryer
using an optional pedestal
base or stacking kit, please
refer to the instructions for your
pedestal or stacking kit before
proceeding with the installation.

accumulate lint, increase drying time and energy use and shorten the life of the dryer.
