A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 127 lbs
(57.6 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [2.5 cm], install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810.) Clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). 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.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should 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.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
