be considered for the following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
