CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause

cancer, birth defects, other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,

formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

CLEARANCES

WARNING: Read all installation instructions completely before installing

and operating your dryer!

It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning

electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45 ºF (7 ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the

end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.

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.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

INSTALLATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.

A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See

Venting Requirements.

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

200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion

appliance should also be considered.

A level ﬂoor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm)

under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5

cm), install the Extended Dryer Feet Kit. 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 inches (46 cm) above the ﬂoor. If using a

pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom

of the dryer.

w

The following spacing dimensions are recommended

for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing

of 0 inches (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.

Suggestion: There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer

of vibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other causing

paint damage and making even more noise.
