LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Check codes requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
■ A separate 30 A circuit.
■ If using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet
located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See
“Electrical Requirements.”
■ Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also
consider weight of companion appliance.
■ Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If forward slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), water could
run out from front of filter. 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 garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm)
to bottom of dryer.
■ The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
40°F (4°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer to not
shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
