SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLATION (cont.)
Exhaust/Ducting:
•Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling.
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
•Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4in. Diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside.
Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
•Rigid or semi rigid metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a ULlisted flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect drying time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent back draft when the dryer is not in use.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10 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.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

4 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
The following instructions will help guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer for use. Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any installation or use. More detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided at other parts of this manual.
STEP 1 Positioning the Dryer.
Choose a location with a solid floor for your dryer. Place the dryer at least eighteen inches above the floor for a garage installation. After placing the dryer in the desired location, please make sure that it has the required clearances shown below, and sections on Exhaust and Maintenance requirements.
49.8” (126.4 cm)
38.7” (98.3 cm)
27” |
29.96” |
(68.6 cm) |
(76.1 cm) |
*Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 in. (14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow.
Note
Level the dryer using the leveling legs and tighten the adjusting nuts to hold them in place.
All four legs should be placed firmly on a solid and even floor.
If the dryer is not level, the clothes will not tumble properly and the sensor will not be able to detect the dryness level accurately.
Adjust the leveling legs carefully to avoid injury.
Note
No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
This applies only to dryers suitable for installation in a closet.
Certain minimum clearances are required above, behind, and to the sides of the unit, as shown below. Those required minimum clearances are set forth in the picture below. Please also keep the following instructions in mind when installing in a closet or recessed area:
•Consider allowing additional clearance for installation and servicing.
•Wall, door and floor molding may force additional clearances.
•An additional inch of clearance is recommended to minimize noise transfer .
•Consider space needed for companion appliances.
•For closet installations, the picture below shows the minimum required ventilation openings for the door. A louvered door with comparable ventilation openings is also acceptable.

•Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.
•Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
•Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Note
Vent pipe and fittings must be installed with the smaller ends facing away from the dryer. Incorrect installation of the vent and improper taping of the joints will interfere with correct dryer and vent function.
In addition to the following warnings, please refer to manual section on Exhaust Requirements and Maintenance. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, and gas accumulation, the dryer must be vented to the outdoors. Please follow the instructions (and all others in this manual) very carefully.
•Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.
•Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semi-rigid metal duct (note: venting materials are not supplied with the dryer, and you must obtain the venting materials necessary for proper installation)
•Position the dryer so the exhaust duct run is as short as possible.
•Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
•The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from the dryer
•Use as few elbow joints as possible.
•Use duct tape on all duct joints
•Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls; and
•PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL
VOID THE DRYER’S WARRANTY. |
