WARNING
• DO NOT allow combustible materi-
als (for example: clothing, draperies/ curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT 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 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. No
screen or grate of any mesh size is allowed to cover the exhaust opening. Lint can become caught in the screen, grate, or 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 seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
FIRE HAZARD

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the dryer where gasoline
or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can re­sult in death, explosion, fire or burns.
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. Read the measurement on the ma­nometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Correct Incorrect
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 and that it is free of obstructions.
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 MUST be 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 is preferred.
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 a non-combustible portion of 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 is to be not less than 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.

Installation Instructions
Gas connection
1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the dryer.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a qualified gas technician.
2. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to
0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of lique­fied gases on all pipe connections.
Manual Shutoff Valve
Open
All connections must be wrench-tightened
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas sup­ply line to allow gas to flow through the pipe. Wait a few minutes for gas to

Installation Instructions
General installation
1. Connect the exhaust duct to the out­side exhaust system. Use of a 4” (102 mm) clamp (item A) is recommended to connect the dryer to the exhaust vent system. Use metal foil tape to seal all other joints.
2. Use a carpenter’s level to level your dryer front-to-back and side-to-side.
3. Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so the dryer is level front­to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
4. Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest move­ment. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the dryer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best perfor­mance of the dryer.
