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 insectsand 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.

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 dryer.

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 installing dryer duct,

Ifthe dryer isnot exhausted outdoors some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the building can create a health and fire hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside of the building!

Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust

system. The dryer MUSTNOT beexhausted into a chimney, a

wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows

allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause an accumulation of lint inthe exhaust system. Plugging the system

could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times. _Do not screenthe exhaust endsof 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. Use an 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 the flow of air.

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

NOT RECOMMENDED

Venting vertical 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 6 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.

EXHAUSTDIRECTION

All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rearexhausting.

However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or

left side of 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.

EXHAUST DUCT LOCATING DIMENSIONS

INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION

Ininstallations where the exhaust system isnot 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

0.75 inches of water column. If the system back

pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the

system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is

higher than 0.75 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.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Replace copper connecting pipe that is not

plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST

be used.

I. Installation MUSTconform with localcodes,or in the absence

of local codes,with the National Fuel GasCode, ANSIZ223. I (latest edition).

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 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

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:

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

2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and

ventilation air.

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

INSTALLATION IN RECESSOR CLOSET

1. A dryer installed ina bedroom, bathroom, recessor closet, MUSTbe exhausted outdoors.

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

3. Your dryer needsthe spacearound it for proper ventilation.

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER IN A CLOSET WITH A SOLID DOOR.

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