You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.■
See “Venting Requirements.”
A separate 15 or 20 amp circuit for gas dryers. A separate 30■
amp circuit for electric dryers.
If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical■
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
A sturdy oor to support the total weight (dryer and load)■
of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water ll■
valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
You may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y”
conector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.
20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.■
Level oor with 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.) If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at■
least 18" (460 mm) above the oor.
If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is■
recommended to control the buildup of scale through the
water system in the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below
45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at
the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the
same closet as the dryer.
