GROUNDING PRONG
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 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. To avoid 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.
Excessive lint 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 is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or
flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any
lint prior to installing dryer duct.
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!
Do not allow combustible materials (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.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of
elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system.
Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as
increase 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. 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 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.

NOTRECOMMENDED
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
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is lessthan 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.
Althoughverticalorientationoftheexhaustsystemis
acceptable,certainextenuatingcircumstancescouldaffect
theperformanceofthedryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
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 18months 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 dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear
exhausting. However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be
to the right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the
dryer. On gas dryers, 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
2. The gas supply line should be of I/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 I/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 dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply 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 gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
I/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:
I. 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).

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Replace copper connecting pipe that is
not plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated
brass MUST be used.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET
I. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or
closet, MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the
same closet as the Gas dryer.
3. Your dryer needs the space around 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
is acceptable.
