EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Useonly 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 close to 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 tile ground or anyother obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dr,e/_£_.
Excessivelint can build up inside exhaust system and create a
fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase
dryer times. If your present system ismade 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 instal/ing
dryer duct.
If the dryer isnot exhausted outdoors some fine lint will be
expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any
area of the home (:an create a health and fire hazard. The
dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside
of the dwel/ing r.
Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing_
draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust
s_stem. Tile 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 tile length of duct F£)eor number of elbows
allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts. Lint can
accumulate in the exhaust system, plugging the system and
creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing drying times.
_Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use
any screws or rivets 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. Usean approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUST be installed downstream with tile flow of air.
Exp/osion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. Ifthe
dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18inches
(45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Replace copper connecting p@e that is not
p/astic-coated_ Stain/ess stee/orp/astic-coated brass MUST
be used.
1. Installation MUSTconform with localcodes,or in the absence
of local (:odes,with the National FuelGasCode, ANSIZ223.1
(latest edition) or in Canada, the current CAN/CGA B149.
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codesallow, flexible metal tubing may be usedto connect
your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply lineMUSThave an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T.plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryerMUSTbe disconnected from the gassupply piping
system during any pressure testing of the gassupply 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 gassupply piping
system at test pressures equal to or lessthan 1/2 psig (3.45
kPa).
LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER
INSTALL MALE FITTINGSINCORRECTDIRECTION
1. The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6
inches(I. 52 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined
manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. The exhaust system should be inspected and (:leaned 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.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryersshipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or
left sideof the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer.On gasdryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom
of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by
installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your
parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
