B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances.
1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be
removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.
IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on non-combustible floors only.”
2. Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be
positioned approximately 2 feet (0.61 m) away from the nearest obstruction, i.e., wall, for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service.
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 24-
inches (60.96 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
