IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.

■ This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles

that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other purpose.

■ WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any

electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.

■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re.

■ Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

■ Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

■ Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door to the dryer compartment.

■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

■ Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.

■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

■ Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.

■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specically recommended in this Installation Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

■ The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without

heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

■ WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of

the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of spontaneous combustion).

■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

■ The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should be

cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints.

■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws

or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

4" (102 mm) Heavy, Metal Exhaust Vent

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps

may be used.

■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7

⁄4 ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.

* Minimum clearance above any

accumulation of snow, ice, or debris such as leaves

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.

The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm) larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.

Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

(610 mm)

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM) of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air (air supply) equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft dampers are available from your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Although usually each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in.2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 in.2 [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for the use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location where exhaust vents exit the building.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

30˚ max.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.

2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound

approved for the type of gas supplied. If exible metal tubing

is used, be certain there are no kinks. If necessary for service, depending on model: Open the toe panel by removing the 21⁄4" hex-head screws from

the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.

Open the toe panel. Use a putty knife to press on the toe panel lock located at the center top of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

Air Flow

air ow

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

3. Open the shut-o valve in the gas supply line and make sure

the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive

leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

Type of Gas

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is designcertied by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made

to convert dryer from gas specied on serial/rating plate for use with a dierent gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.

Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed near gas valve burner base.

Gas Supply Line

Recommended Method

Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new exible stainless steel gas line, design-certied by CSA International, be used for connecting the

dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe that extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" [10 mm] male pipe thread.)

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the

installed shut-o valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m2).

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm) approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-o valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving

to avoid damaging oor covering. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation

location. Take tape o front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove

the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place them on the oor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

2. Screw in leveling legs

Examine leveling legs and nd diamond marking. Screw legs into leg holes by hand. Use an adjustable wrench or 1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench to nish turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. Then t a covered foot boot over each leg foot.

To protect the oor, use a large piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer until it is close to its nal location. Leave enough room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

1. Install coin slide and coin box

Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)

For dryers using coin slides, use the adapter kit supplied with the dryer.

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key in the meter case opening.

Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

2. Install added security device

Check that power is not supplied to the dryer. Open and remove the service door. Insert the narrow part of the security cone into the oblong hole

in the bottom rear of the meter case assembly. Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand

into the cage nut below the oblong hole. Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a

wrench to tighten until snug.
