3. Location
Each appliance should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the clothes, and sufficient
room behind for the dryer exhaust system and washer hose connections.
The dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the left side, use an accessory exhaust kit
available from your dealer. Instructions are included with the kit.
When installing the dryer, the following minimum clearances to combustibles apply; clearance to wall and
sides – 0 inches. Top – 0 inches with outside exhaust; rear – 0 inches with outside exhaust.
It is important to make sure the room has an adequate air supply for gas combustion and/or drying
operation. This is particularly important for multiple unit installations. The operation of the dryer may
affect the operation of other gas appliances which take their air supply for safe combustion from the
same room. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturers. An adequate means of ventilation must be
provided that opens directly to outside air.
For gas washer/dryer installations where dry cleaning machines are also installed, the sources of make-
up air and air movement to the dryers must be located away from the dry cleaners.
The appliance must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to outside weather, or
where water may freeze, since the washer will always retain some water in the water valve, pump and
hose areas. The area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, flammable vapours or
liquids. Operating temperature should be above 15° C (60° F).
