Gas supply requirements

- EXPLOSION HAZARD - Uncoated copper

tubing will corrode when subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas supply.

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).

2. The gas supply line should be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.

3. If codes allow, ﬂ exible 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.

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or ﬂ exible 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.

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 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 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

8. Connections for the gas supply must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24.

- FIRE HAZARD - Failure to follow these in-

structions can create excessive drying times and ﬁ re hazards.

The following are speciﬁ c requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer.

- FIRE HAZARD - Do not install a clothes

dryer with ﬂ exible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂ ow and increase the risk of ﬁ re.

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Correct Incorrect

Exhaust system requirements, continued

- FIRE HAZARD - A clothes dryer must be

exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and ﬁ re hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

- FIRE HAZARD -

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 ﬁ re 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. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a ﬁ re 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 ﬁ ttings MUST be installed downstream with the ﬂ ow of air.

- 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 ﬁ re hazard, as well as increase drying times.

INCORRECT

Exhaust system requirements, continued

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 ﬂ uff (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 .075 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.• 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.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the next page.

Use of 90° quick-turn elbow required to meet mini-

mum installation depth of free-standing dryer:

Straight back venting allows for 0” (0 cm) installation.• Venting right with 90° elbow allows for 0.75” (2 cm) • installation. Venting downward with 90° elbow allows for 0.75” (2 cm) • installation. Venting left with short, straight adapter and 90° elbow • allows for 3.75” (9.5 cm) installation. Venting upward with short, straight adapter and 90° • elbow allows for 4” (10.5 cm) installation.

Manufactured or mobile home installation

Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured 1. 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. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath 2. 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. If dryer is exhausted through the ﬂ oor and area beneath 3. the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST

terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other important 4. exhaust venting system requirements. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a 5. 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. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer mounted 6. on pedestal to the ﬂ oor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.

Clearance requirements

- EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not install the

dryer where gasoline or other ﬂ ammables 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 ﬂ oor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, ﬁ re or burns.

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:

In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather 1. conditions. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, 2. drapes, or anything that will obstruct the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 3. 1 inch (2.54 cm).

INSTALLATION IN A RECESS OR CLOSET

1. 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. Closet door ventilation required: A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 cm²) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Openings should be located 3 inches (7.6 cm) from bottom and top of door. Openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is acceptable.
