LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
You will need:
■
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.
See “Venting Requirements.”
■
A separate 30-amp circuit.
■
If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■
A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load)
of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
■
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [25 mm], install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810). If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C).
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 clearances:
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to open fully.
Parts needed:
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting,
and read “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements”
before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system
hardware, available for purchase from the dealer from whom
you purchased your dryer. For further information, please
reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and
Care Guide.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
■
A UL Listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120-/240-
volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT
and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect
to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals
with upturned ends.
■
A UL Listed strain relief.
