exposed to water and/or the weather. Proper installation is

your responsibility.

You will need:

■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of

Gas dryer installation clearances

■ The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door

to be fully opened.

When installing a gas dryer:

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■ Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not

permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

■ Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back

and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to

permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion

air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions”

for minimum spacing requirements.
