What clearances are required around the dryer for installation?

Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 inches clearance behind the dryer for exhaust ducting. Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch on the sides and back to minimize vibration and noise. Allow at least 21 inches in front of the dryer to open the door. If installing in a garage, place the dryer at least 18 inches above the floor. (Page 8)
