Installation spacing for a recessed area or closet
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing
allowed.
� Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
� Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, floor,
moldings, dryer venting, and drain system.
� 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 for
vented models. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation
openings are acceptable.
� Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Mobile Home – Additional installation
requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title
24, HUD Part 280) or the Standard for Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA-
Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
� Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for
purchase from your dealer.
� Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce
outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby
window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust
opening.
Electrical Requirements – U.S.A.
It is your responsibility:
� To contact a qualified electrical installer.
� To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
– latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. The
National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in
remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations. A
copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02169–7471.
� To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 V,
60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208 V
electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a
separate 30 A circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Connect
to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit.
� Do not use an extension cord.
� If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
