GAS REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

8

Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for
gas dryers. Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes and
ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion, or fire.

1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service
must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column
pressure.

2. Do not attempt to connect the dryer to Liquified
Petroleum (LP Gas) Gas service without a
qualified professional.

3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressure equal to or less
than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).

4. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
In the United States, an individual manual shutoff
valve MUST be installed within at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.
N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.

5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1 m). Larger
tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20
feet (6.1 m). It is also important that you use pipe
joint compound that is insoluble in LP gas.

6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the following

instructions and WARNINGS.

• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the

nameplate.

EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE

9

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.

Warning: DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,

crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil Ducting. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer
and you should obtain the necessary venting
materials locally. For example, the outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged
dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not
in use.

2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.

3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended
for use as transition ducting between the dryer and
and the wall. In special installations when it is
impossible to make a connection with the above
recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal
transition duct may be used between the dryer and
wall connection only. The use of this ducting will
affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe
joints or other fastening means which extend into
the duct that could catch lint and reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints
with duct tape.

5. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above.

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

1. After one year of use, the interior and complete exhaust
system of the dryer should be examined and cleaned if
necessary.

2. Before one year of use, when drying performance has
become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the
exhaust duct for better drying performance.

3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the
dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not
pushed in and that nothing has been set against the
dampers.

4. A qualified service person or company should be used
to perform this maintenance.

5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can
be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard to
reach places. This Kit comes in two pieces, one of
which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached
to the wall exhaust outlet. Following attachment of the
two separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer
may be returned to its final position, after which the
two pieces themselves can be connected.

7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care. Wipe the
exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the
exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach,
or other washing products is spilled on the dryer.

8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as

necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products may
damage the finish of the control panel.

9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying each
load or after drying each load.

10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before

starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may
increase drying times.

11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the

vacuum duct. See item #2 above.

12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside

the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing the dryer, because
wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your
dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load
or after drying each load. Always make sure the
lint filter is clean before starting a new load,
because a clogged lint filter may increase drying
times.

2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll
any lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place.

3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with
a loose lint screen may cause overheating and
damage to the dryer and articles being dried.

4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the lint
screen to fill rapidly. Remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying these articles, such
as new towels.

5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and
into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust
hood and remove any lint.

6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying
times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off
the screen. In order to prevent this type of build
up, and help ensure proper operation of your
dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or, if necessary, more
frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as
follows:

a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your

fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or
warm water.

b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid

detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush
to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric
softener.

c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen

with hot water.

d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,

firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.

WARNING!

• Disconnect the dryer’s electric power
prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

• Failure to do so can result in fire or
electrical shock.

Clean the lint filter after each use and check it
before use. Not cleaning or emptying the filter
will increase drying time and energy
consumption, therefore dryer life expectancy
could be shortened.

1. Open the door
and pull the filter
straight up

1. Wipe out the door
opening. Otherwise,
build-ups of dirty and
foreign objects will
damage sealing of
door.

2. Clean the transparent

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following
pages first and you may not need to call for service.

1. Problem: My dryer won't start

• Is the dryer plugged in?

• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?

Confirm that the dryer’s plug is securely and completely pushed into the laundry
room’s power outlet

Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: Electric dryers generally use two
fuses or breakers.)

Question What to Do

2. Problem: My dryer doesn't heat

Question What to Do

• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?

• Is the gas supply or service
blocked or off?

If the fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped, the dryer might tumble but not
heat. Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box / circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: Electric dryers
generally use two fuses or breakers.)

Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.

3. Problem: There are greasy spots on my clothes

Question What to Do

• Did you follow the instructions on
your fabric softener product?

• Are you drying clean and dirty
clothes together?

• Were your clothes entirely clean?

Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener product.

Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil
clean clothes placed in the same load or later placed in the dryer drum.

Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that weren’t cleansed during the washing
process. Please review and confirm that you are following your washing
instructions and that the clothes are being completely cleaned.

66

5. Problem: There is static in my clothes after drying.

Question What to Do

4. Problem: There is lint on my clothes

Question What to Do

Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the
lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of
laundry.

In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a
fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair
of black linen pants).

See comments below under There is static in my clothes after drying.

Divide your larger load into smaller loads.

Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the pocket
of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a
load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing
are empty before washing and drying.

• Is your lint filter full?

• Did you properly sort your load of
laundry?

• Do your clothes have excess static
electricity?

• Did you overload your dryer?

• Did you place any paper, tissue, or
other similar material in the load?

• Did you use fabric softener?

• Did you over dry the load of
laundry?

• Are you drying synthetic, permanent
press and blends?

Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.

Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity.
Try using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time.

These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes.
Try using a fabric softener.

6. Problem: The drying time is not consistent

Question

• Are you using consistent heat
settings and consistent load sizes?

The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat
used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness
of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter

What to Do

67

7. Problem: It takes too long for my clothes to dry

Question What to Do

• Did you properly sort your loads of
laundry?

• Are you drying large loads of heavy
fabrics?

• Are the dryer controls properly set?

• Is the lint filter clean before each
new load of laundry?

• Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?

• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?

• Did you overload your dryer?

• Did you under load your dryer?

Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.

Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.

Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.

Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the
dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.

Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: Electric dryers generally use two
fuses or breakers.)

Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.

If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure
proper tumbling action.

8. Problem: My clothes are wrinkled

Question What to Do

• Are you over drying your laundry?

• Are you removing your laundry
from the dryer soon after the
drying cycle is complete?

Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or
fold the items.

9. Problem: My clothes are shrinking

Question What to Do

• Are you following the care
instructions for your garment?

To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use instructions for your
garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics
can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer.
