Laundry Center Safety

Before beginning installation, carefully read these instructions. This will simplify the installation and ensure the laundry center is installed correctly and safely. Leave these instructions near the

laundry center after installation for future reference.

NOTE: The electrical service to the laundry center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code,

CSA C22.1

NOTE: The gas service to the laundry center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the Canadian Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICLaundry Center ]

Circuit- Individual 30 amp branch circuit fused with 30 amp minimum time delay fuses or circuit breakers.

POWER SUPPLY- 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (106.68 cm) of your laundry center's water inlet. The faucets

MUSTbe 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type soinlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi). Your water department can advise you of your

water )ressure.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals. per minute.

2. A standpipe diameter of 11Ainches (3.18 cm) minimum.

3. The standpipe height above the floor should be: Minimum height: 33 inches (83.82 cm) Maximum height: 96 inches (244 cm)

NEMA 10-30R NEMA 14-30R

(83.82cm)

NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a qualified technician install a longer hose, PIN 134049201, available from an authorized parts distributor. Fordrain systems in the floor, install a siphon break kit, available from your local

hardware store.

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s) automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other

obstruction.

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your laundry center. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times

and fire hazards.

Do not use plastic flexible duct or metal foil to exhaust the dryer. Excessivelint can build up inside the exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase drying times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, _lace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing laundry center dryer duct.

INCORRECT

Do not allow combustible materials (for

example: clothinq,draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with the exhaust system. The dryer MUSTNOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

Do not exceed the lenqth of duct pipe or

number of elbows allowed in the" EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS" chart. Lint car/accumulate in the system, plugging the system

and creating a fire hazard, aswell as increasing drying times.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust svstem. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the exhaust system and creating a fire hazard aswell asincreasing drying times. Usean approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe installed downstream

with the flow of air.

Explosion hazard. Do not install the laundry center where qasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If

the laundry center isinstalled in a garage, it must be aminimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can

result in death, explosion, fire or burns. The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6 inches(1.52 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.

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 exhaust system MUST be exhausted to

the outside of the dwelling!

The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart below.

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation:

1. Straight back

2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)

3. Left(8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)

4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right)

To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will

be positioned about 4Y2inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may bedone by going below the dryer

then sideways). An exhaust hood positioned

to line up with the dryer exhaust can be installed

directly through the outside wall. To exhaust to the side

or down, add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of standard

4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

1.Installation MUSTconform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1

(latest edition) or in Canada, the current AN/CGA B149.

2.The gas supply line should be of 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.

5.A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N. RT.plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

6.The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

7.The dryer MUSTbe isolated from the gassupply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressuretesting of the gas supplypiping systemattest pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

LOCATION OF YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LA UNDRY CENTER:

1.In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.

2.In an area where it will come in contact with curtains or drapes.

3.On carpet. Floor MUSTbe solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm).

INSTALLATION IN RECESSOR CLOSET

1.A laundry center installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recessor closet, MUSTbe exhausted outdoors.

2.No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet asthe Gas laundry center.

3.Your laundry center needs the spacearound it for proper ventilation. DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER IN A CLOSET WITH A SOLID DOOR.

4.A mirfimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, isrequired. Air openings are required to be unobstructed when a door isinstalled. A Iouvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is acceptable.

5.The following illustrations show minimum clearance dimensions and air openings for proper operation in a recess or closet installation.
