If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department. Installation and service must be preformed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECYRICLaundry Center
Circuit- Individual 30 amp branch circuit fused with 30 amp minimum time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools and Materials Required for Installation:
1. Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
3. Carpenter's level.
4. Flat or straight blade screwdriven
5. Duct tape.
6. Rigid or flexible metal 4 inch (10.16 cm) duct.
7. Vent hood.
8. Pipe thread sealer (Gas).
9. Ratchet with 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) socket.
Grounding Prong
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (106.68 cm) of your laundry center's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type so inlet hoses can be connected.
Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi). Your water
department can advise you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature should be about 120 degrees E
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals. per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1¼ inches (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height: 33 inches (83.82 cm) Maximum height: 96 inches (244 cm)
f
96"Max.
--T--
33" Min.
(83.82cm)
NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a qualified technician install a longer hose, PIN 134049201, available from an
authorized parts distributor. For drain systems in the floor, install a siphon break kit, available from your local hardware store.
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s) automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38,5 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 laundry center. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct or metal foil to
exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside the exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air
flow will increase drying times. If your present system is made 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 laundry center 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 the 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.
Do not exceed the length of duct pipe or number of
elbows allowed in the" EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS" chart. Lint can accumulate in the system, plugging the system and creating a fire
hazard, as well as increasing drying times. _Do not the exhaust ends of the vent
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
exhaust system 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. 3

system,
Explosion hazard, Do not install the laundry center
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If the laundry center 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. The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed
0.6 inches (1.52 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer. The
exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned 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.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart below.

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbowdown and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbowdown and 1 elbow right)
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90 ° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 41/2 inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall
exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall. To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm)
diameter duct and a 90 ° elbow.
GASSUPPLYREQUIREMENTS ROUGH-IN DIMENSIONS
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) or in Canada, the current AN/CGA B149.
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. R T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryen
6.The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be disconnected 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).
7.The dryer MUSTbe isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

Rigid metal duct is preferred.
2.If dryer isexhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUSTterminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile
home structure.
3.Refer to page 3 for other important venting requirements.

4.When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be
made for outside make up air. This provision isto be not lessthan twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
_iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
5.Installation MUSTconform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regulation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-
80) or when such standard is not applicable, with American National Standard for Mobile Homes. In Canada, the CSA Z240 is applicable.
_1__ The laundry center is designed under ANSI Z 21.5.1for HOME USE only.
UNPACKING
1. Using the four shipping carton corner posts (two on each side), carefully lay the laundry center on its left side and
remove foam shipping base.
Excessive weight. Use two or more people
to move Laundry Center.
2. Using a ratchet with 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) socket, remove the mechanism shipping bolt and plastic spacer block from the
center of the base.
NOTE: If the laundry center is to be transported at a later date, the tub blocking pad, shipping bolt, and plastic spacer block should be retained.
3. Return laundry center to an upright position.
4. Remove: (a) foam tub blocking pad.
(b) foam shipping blocks from rear of unit. (c) tape from dryer door. (d) foam dryer support pads. (e) inlet hoses. (f) enclosure package.
5. From the back of the washer, remove the wire shipping
clips securing the drain hose and power cord (if equipped). Plastic clamps secure the drain hose to the right side of
the washer backsheet. These clamps form a standpipe to
prevent water syphoning. DO NOT REMOVE THESE
CLAMPS.
6. Carefully move the laundry center to within 4 feet (1.22 m)
of the final location to begin the installation.
