EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (! 0.2 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 (:an create a health and fire hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST
be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling r.
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 tile 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.

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 tile dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start tile dryer.
3. Read the measurement on tile 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, tile system is too restrictive and tile installation is unacceptable.

Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and (:leaned 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
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting. However, on electric dryers, exhausting (:an be to the right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers, exhausting carl be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting carl 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. Tile gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (127 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. Tile 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 conne(tion, MUST be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to
the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from tile gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of tile gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.45 kPa).
7. Tile 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).
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 tile 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. StaiMess steet or plastic-coated brass MUST be used.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of local (:odes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
INSTALLATION IN 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 tile 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 tile full length of the door
is acceptable.
