DONOT exhaustdryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl spaceor a concealedspace of a building,gas vent,

or any other common ductor chimney. This could createa fire hazardfrom lint expelled by the dryer.

The exhaustductshould end withan exhaust hoodwith a swingout damperto prevent backdraftsand entry
of wildlife. NEVER use an exhausthood with a magneticdamper. The hood should haveat least 12inches

of clearance betweenthe bottom of the hood andthe groundor otherobstruction. The hoodopeningshould

pointdown. NEVERinstall a screenoverthe exhaustoutlet.
Whenpossible,do notexhaust the dryer directly intoa windowwell in orderto avoid lint build-up. Do not

If exhaustductworkmust run through an unheated area,the duct shouldbe insulated and slope slightlydown

towardsthe exhaust hoodto reducecondensationand lint build-up.

If an existingexhaust system is to be used withyour dryer(s)you must be sure:

• The exhaustsystem meetsall local,state and national codes.

• That plasticflexibleduct is not used.

• To completelyinspect and cleanall lint accumulatingfrom the interiorof the duct.

• The ductis not kinkedor crushed.

• The exhaust hooddamperopens andcloses freely.

Inspectand cleanthe interiorof the exhaust system at leasttwice a year. Disconnectelectricservice priorto

cleaning. Check gas line on gasdryers anytimethe dryer is moved.

Frequentlycheckto be sure the exhausthooddamper opensand closes freely.

WASHER REQUIREMENTS

Waterpressureof 20to 120 p.s.i,is requiredto correctlyfill the washerto the proper levels.

DRAIN FACILITY

Recommendedheightof the stand pipe is 36 inches. Ifthe stand pipe is less than 36 incheshigh,the drain
hoseshould be routedthroughthe clip to raise the hoseto the properheight. Standpipe must be large

enoughto acceptthe outsidediameterof the drain hose.

Without the 36 inches high elevation, water may run out of the washer prematurely. Shouldthe washer

fill and drain atthe sametime could indicatethat the drain hosehas notbeen elevatedto the properheight.
Thedrain hose is attachedat the factory.

FLOORING

For bestperformancethe washer must be installedon a solidly constructedfloor. Wood floors may needto
be reinforcedto minimizevibration and/or unbalancedloadsituations. Carpeting and softtile surfacesare

contributingfactorsin vibration and/ortendency for awasher to moveslightly during the spin cycle. Never
installthe washer on a platform or weak supportedstructure.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

It is recommendedthewasher never be installedin areaswhere water may freeze sincethe washer will
always maintainsome water in the watervalve, pumpand hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,

pump, hosesand other components. Operatingtemperatureshould be above60°F.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

Useonly Naturalor LP (liquidpropane) gases.

THE INSTALLATIONMUSTCONFORMWITHLOCALCODES,OR IN THEABSENCEOF LOCALCODES,
WITHTHE NATIONALFUELGAS CODEANSI/Z223.1, LATESTREVISION(FORTHE UNITEDSTATES),

OR WITHTHE CAN/CGA-B149INSTALLATIONCODES(FOR CANADA).

A gas dryer is equippedwith a burner orifice for operation on NATURALgas. If the dryer is to be operated

on LPgas, it mustbe convertedfor safe and proper performanceand mustbe converted by a
qualifiedservice technician. Conversionkits from NATURALto LP,or LP to NATURALareavailable

through your localdealer (seeAccessories). If other conversionsarerequired,check with the localgas utility
for specific informationconcerningconversionrequirements.

Eachdryerwill provide an input of 22,000 B.T.U.per hour.

A 1/2inchgassupply lineis recommendedandmust be reducedto connectto the 3/8 inchgas line onthe
dryer.

The internal gas shut-off isaccessedby removingthe access panel on the dryer. The shut-offis positioned
for easy accessnear the gasvalve.

The NationalFuelGas Code requiresthat an accessible,approvedmanual gas shut offvalve be installed
within 6feet of the dryer.

Additionally,a 1/8 inch N.P.T.(NationalPipeThread) pluggedtapping, accessiblefor test gaugeconnection,
mustbe installedimmediatelyupstreamof the gas supplyconnectionto the dryer.

Thedryermustbe disconnectedfromthegassupply pipingsystemduringanypressuretestingofthesystem.
DO NOT re-useold flexible metalgas line. Flexiblegas line mustbe design certifiedby AmericanGas

Association(CGAin Canada). NOTE: Any pipejoint compoundused must be resistantto the actionof any
liquefiedpetroleumgas.

NOTE: Asa courtesy,most local gas utilitieswill inspect a gas applianceinstallation.
GAS IGNITION -
