WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or exible vent shall be used for
exhausting.
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■ Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use screws or other
fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):
■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home or business.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
owers, rocks, or bushes).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
exible metal vent.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
Good
Better
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,
or straight out the back of the dryer. See “Product Dimensions”
in the “Location Requirements” section.
Make-up air:
Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed
outdoor air opening of 24 in2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 square
inch [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air
openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so that
the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep
in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to
account for use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also,
make-up air openings should not be installed near the location
of exhaust vents exiting the building.
Vent System Length
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of
vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.
4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with
a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
5. Move dryer into nal position. Do not crush or kink vent.
Make sure dryer is level.
NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a
Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).
For vent systems not covered by the vent specication chart,
see your parts distributor.
If dryer is installed in a conned area, such as a bedroom,
bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air
for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation
Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½" (64 mm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½" (64 mm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.
If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
Multiple Dryer Venting
■ A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
■ A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a
commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the
vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into
the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main
vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.
30˚ max.
Air ow
Air flow
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.
If the main vent travels
vertically through the roof,
rather than through the wall,
install a 180° sweep elbow
on the end of the vent at
least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the
highest part of the building.
The opening in the wall or
roof shall have a diameter
1/2" (13 mm) larger than
the vent diameter. The vent
should be centered in the
opening.
Do not install screening or
cap over the end of the vent.

until it is close to its nal location. Leave enough room for
electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
On some models: The meter case houses the factory-installed
coin slide mechanism, service lock and key, and coin box lock
and key.

LEVELING
Leveling your dryer properly reduces excess noise and vibration.2. Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all
four feet are rmly on oor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side
to side. If dryer rocks, adjust leveling feet.
1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top
edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip
dryer and adjust feet up or down, repeating as necessary.
3. If dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet counterclockwise
to lower the dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck
levelness of dryer and that all four feet are rmly in contact
with the oor. Repeat as needed.
HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about 4"
(102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support
weight of dryer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS DRYER
Make Gas Connection
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If exible metal
tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the front lower service panel
by using a 1/4" nutdriver to remove the 2 hex-head screws
from the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while
pulling the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer has its own gas supply opened.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show
a leak. Correct any leaks found.
