IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough
space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the
bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s
important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow
obstruction.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air
for combustion and proper dryer operation.
THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO
WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE
LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or
closet.
No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS.
See EXHAUST INFORMATION section.
Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:
2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5” in the back.
The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in²
with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is
acceptable.
