important Safety instructions
For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
A WARNING- RiSK OF FiRE
Read all of the following instructions before installing and using this appliance:
° Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in a
garbage container or make materials inaccessible to children.
° Clothes dryer installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
° Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
° The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the Nation-
ai Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.
° The gas service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, or in Canada, CAN/ACG B149.1-2000.
° The dryer is designed under ANSI Z 21.5.1 or ANSI/UL 2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 112 (latest editions) for HOME
USE only. This dryer is not recommended for commercial applications such as restaurants, beauty salons, etc.
° Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions wiii obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
° Do not stack a dryer on top of washer already installed on pedestal. Do not stack dryer on top of another dryer. Do
not stack washer on top of dryer. Do not stack washer on top of another washer.
° The instructions in this manual and aii other literature included with this dryer are not meant to cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Good safe practice and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating
and maintaining any appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
° Do not try to light any appliance.
° Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
° Clear the room, building or area of aii occupants.
° Immediately caii your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas suppiier's instructions.
° If you cannot reach your gas supplier, caii the fire department.
Save these instructions for future reference.

stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas
supply.
| Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel

2 The gas supply line should be 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.P.T. plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.

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

Installation Requirements
Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter 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.

Exhaust system requirements, continued
Install male fittings in correct direction:
CORRECT INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system has not described
in the previous pages, the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
| 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 1.0 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is less than 1.0 inches of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is
higher than 1.0 inches of water column, the system is
too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, the performance of this dryer could be
adversely affected by the following conditions:
° The use of non-rigid metal duct work.
° 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.
° Accelerated accumulation of lint buildup in dryer
exhaust system, 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 the 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
is required to meet minimum
installation depth of free-
standing dryer.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
Installation Requirements
1 Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured
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.
2 Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not
beneath 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.
3 If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area
beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust
system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with
the termination securely fastened to the mobile
home structure.
4 Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5 When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a
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.
6 Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer
mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved

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.
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 the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3 On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum
slope of 1inch (2.54 cm).

Installation in a Recessor Closet
| 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 cm 2) of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of the door, is
required. Openings should be located 3 inches (7.6

General installation
1 Connect the exhaust duct to the outside exhaust
system (see pages 6 through 8). Use of a 4" (102
