Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
NOTE
The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble
properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if the dryer is not level.
For garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. The
standard pedestal height is 15 inches (38 cm). You will need 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the garage floor to the
bottom of the dryer.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). 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 that limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes,
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Clearances
LG DLEX4000 Ultra Large Front Load Electric Dryer-Clearances2
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5
cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
Additional clearances 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.
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.
One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet
above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no
more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to
form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or
come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.
