Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Gas Dryers

To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer.

Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.

IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If this happens, after approximately two minutes igniter will again attempt gas ignition.

After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.

2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.

3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.

4. Reinstall the lower front panel.

WARNING

For personal safety, lower front panel must be in place during normal operation.

Dryer Exhaust Requirements

WARNING

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

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 in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this manual.

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 area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting to exhaust the dryer.

Make-Up Air Requirements

For proper operation it is important that you locate the dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.

A dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of dryer).

Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the home. These devices can be obtained through your building contractor or building material suppliers.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or thin foil ducting, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust 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 duct joints with duct tape or pop-rivets.

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 in table below.

To prevent backdraft when dryer is not 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 12 inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger 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 left side because of the burner housing.

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

Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional equipment at extra cost.

Exhaust System 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 maintenance work should be done by a qualified service person.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical service to the dryer 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.

Dryer Airflow

Efficient dryer operation requires proper dryer airflow. Proper dryer airflow can be evaluated by measuring the static pressure.

Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no greater than that shown in the illustration below. (Check with dryer running and no load.)

NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the dryer. Refer to Figure 31.

User-Maintenance Instructions

Lubrication

All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.

Care of Your Dryer

Clean the lint filter after drying each load. The lint filter may be washed if needed. Annually remove lint filter and screw to vacuum the duct under it.

Ordinarily, the dryer cylinder will need no care.

Wipe the dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel.

NOTE: The wiring diagram is located inside the control panel.

Exhaust System

The exhaust duct 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.

Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

NOTE: Verify proper operation after servicing.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
