WARNING

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:

• The dryer must be connected to the type of gas as shown on nameplate located in the door recess.

• Use a new flexible stainless steel connector.

• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in LP (propane) Gas, or Teflon tape, on all pipe threads.

• Purge air and sediment from gas supply line before connecting it to the dryer. Before tightening the connection, purge remaining air from gas line to dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is required to prevent gas valve contamination.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.

W114R1

The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than

3.45 kPa (1/2 psi)

NOTE: When connecting to a gas line, an equi pment shutoff valve must be installed within 1.8 m (6') of the dryer. An 1/8" N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown. See illustration.

Dryer Exhaust Requirements . . .

W ARNING

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

W116

This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances i n the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this manual.

W115

To reduce the risk of fire and the accumulation of combustion gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated ar ea, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

W045

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic pipe or flexible plastic pipe to exhaust the dryer .

W041

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust system materia ls ar e not s uppli ed with the dr yer. Exhaust duct must be 10.2 cm (four inches) in

diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or flexible plast ic pipe, because it contr ibutes to poor dryi ng performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

DO NOT use sheet meta l screws on exh aust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

Make-Up Air Requirements

A dryer exhausts 214 cfm (measured at back of dryer) and suff icient mak e-up air must be supplied to re place air exhausted by each dryer.

An unobstructed opening of at least 260 cm inches) of outdoor make-up air MUST be provided for each dryer. Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors can reduce air movement approximately 35 to 40 percent. Be sure the opening is large enough to compensate for any louvers.

(40 square

clearances may be necessary for installations where heavy snowfall can occur.

Exhaust Direction

The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION:

Gas dryers cannot be vented out the lef t s ide becaus e of the burner housing.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust; no kits required.

If it is necessary to duct make-up air to t he dryer, increase the area of the ductw ork b y 25 perce nt to compensate for any reduction i n air movement. In addition, the make-up air duct should ext end down to wit hin approximately tw o feet from the floor, directly behind the dryer.

Exhaust System

IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible.

NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.

For best drying results, recommended maximum length of exhaust system is shown below.

T o prev ent backdra ft when dryer is no t in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally).

NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least

30.5 cm (12 inches) above the ground. Larger

Exhaust Sys tem Maintenance

The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as required thereafter. The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against them. This main tenance work should be done by a qualified service person.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical service to the dry er before cleaning.

W043

Exhausting the dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be accomplished by installing the 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available as optional equipment at extra cost. The kit comes in two halves that can be separately attached to the dryer and wall outlet. Once attached, the dryer can be slid back into position and the two halves can be connected from the front.

NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately 61 cm (two feet) from the dryer, see illustration below.
