Installation spacing for recessed area  

or closet

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

 

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 

installation and servicing.

 

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and 

floor moldings.

 

Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is 

recommended 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.

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 Canadian 

Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

 

Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase.  

For further information, please reference the “Assistance  

or Service” section of the “Use and Care Guide.”

 

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.
