Gas supply requirements
- EXPLOSION HAZARD - Uncoated copper
tubing will corrode when subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-coat- ed brass piping for gas supply.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing
MUST be constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically closeto prevent
drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. Toavoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5
cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or lessthan 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
8. Connections for the gas supply must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24.

- FIRE HAZARD - Failure to follow these in-
structions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer.
- FIRE HAZARD - Do not install a clothes
dryer with flexible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct isfree of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Exhaust system requirements, continued
- FIRE HAZARD - A clothes dryer must be
exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any
area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
- FIRE HAZARD -
Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chim-
ney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building
which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and sealall joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
- FIRE HAZARD - Exceeding the length of
duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the ex-
haust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

Exhaust system requirements, continued
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Readthe measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure
is lessthan 0.75 inches of water column, the system is
acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than .075
inches of water column, the system is too restrictive and
the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area
may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check
the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts
distributor or hardware store.
See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTSon the next page.
Use of 90° quick-turn elbow required to meet mini-
mum installation depth of free-standing dryer:
Straight back venting allows for 0" (0 cm) installation. Venting right with 90° elbow allows for 0.75" (2 cm)
installation.
Venting downward with 90° elbow allows for 0.75" (2 cm)
installation.
Venting left with short, straight adapter and 90° elbow allows for 3.75" (9.5 cm) installation. Venting upward with short, straight adapter and 90° elbow allows for 4" (10.5 cm) installation.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part
32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or
Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUSTbe exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm)in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct ispreferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other important exhaust venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a
provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision isto be not lessthan twice the area of the dryer
exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved Mobile Home
Installation Kit- P/N 137067200.
