For further assistance refer to Sections on Location
Requirements and 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.
• DO NOT use plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal
duct.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use duct tape on all joints.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void

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:
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
b. 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.
c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
d. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

material that will not support combustion.
Rigid or flexible metal pipe is recommended
for a clothes dryer.
W048
WARNING
Installation . . .
IMPORTANT: Installation must conform to
the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or
Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
The dryer can be installed in a manufactured (mobile)
home by following these instructions:
1. IMPORTANT: Gas dryers MUST be
permanently attached to the floor at the time of
installation. Order No. 526P3 Dryer Installation
Kit for a manufactured (mobile) home
installation. Follow the instructions supplied
with the kit.
2. Electrical Connections (Electric Dryer Only) must
be a 4-wire connection, refer to page 13.
3. Venting—Dryer MUST be exhausted to the
outdoors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation, the dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. Refer to
Section on Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
W047
• The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through
the back, left, right or bottom panel. Gas dryers
cannot be exhausted out the left side because of the
burner housing.
• Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under the
mobile home.
• For proper operation, it is important that the dryer
has an ample amount of outside make-up air. The
free area of any opening for the introduction of
outside air must be at least 25 in
• When exhausting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer
can be installed with “0” inch clearance at the sides
and rear. Clearance of the duct from combustible
construction must be a minimum of 2 inches (5.08
cm).
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer
(obtain locally).
