EXIGENCES D'EMPLACEMENT
Risque d'explosion
Garder les mati_res et les vapeurs inflammables, telle
que I'essence, loin de la s6cheuse.
Placer la s6cheuse au moins 460 mm (18 po} au=dessus
du plancher pour une installation dans un garage.
Le non=respect de ces instructions peut causer
un d6c_s, une explosion ou un incendie.
[]
[]
II vous faudra :
Un emplacement permettant une 6vacuation appropri6e.
Voir "Exigences concernant 1'6vacuation".

Si on utilise un cordon d'alimentation, une prise 61ectrique
avec liaison & la terre situ6e a moins de 2 pi (610 mm) de
I'un des c6t6s de la s6cheuse. Voir "Sp6cifications
61ectriques".
Le plancher dolt supporter le poids de la s6cheuse de
200 Ib (90,7 kg). IIfaut 6galement prendre en compte le
poids des appareils m6nagers voisins.
Des robinets d'eau froide situ6s & 4 pi (1,2 m) maximum
des valves de remplissage, et une pression d'eau de 20 &
100 Ib/po 2(137,9 a 689,6 kPa). L'alimentation en eau de
la laveuse peut _tre utilis6e avec le connecteur en "Y" et
le tuyau court (si n6cessaire) fournis.
20 & 100 Ib/po 2(138 a 690 kPa) pour un rendement optimal.
Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de
1" (25 mm) sous I'ensemble de la s6cheuse. Si la pente
est sup@ieure & 1" (25 mm), installer un ensemble de
pieds d'extension pour s6cheuse, piece n° 279810. Si
la s6cheuse n'est pas d'aplomb, le linge peut ne pas
culbuter convenablement, et les programmes automatiques
command6s par d6tecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner
correctement.
[]
Pour I'installation dans un garage, placer la s6cheuse
&au moins 18" (460 mm) au-dessus du sol. En cas
d'utilisation d'un pi6destal, il faudra 18" (460 mm)
jusqu'au fond de la s6cheuse.
Pour chaque am6nagement, pr6voir davantage d'espace pour
faciliter I'installation et I'entretien; des espacements pour les
appareils voisins, les murs, les portes et les plinthes. L'espace
dolt 6tre assez grand pour ouvrir completement la porte. Ajouter
un espacement sur tousles c6t6s de la s6cheuse pour r6duire le
transfert du bruit. Si une porte de placard ou une porte a claire-
vole est install6e, des ouvertures de ventilation en haut et en bas
sont n6cessaires.
