L_required, Plan Installation to use the
fewest number of elbows and turns.

An exhaust hood should cap the
exhaust vent to prevent exhausted air
from returning Into the dryer. The
outlet of the hood must be at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) from the ground
or anything else that may be in the
path of the exhaust.
Four-lnch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet
exhaust hood may be used. A
2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other
hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary exhaust
system is required,
A main exhaust vent can be used for
exhausting a group of dryers. Main
exhaust vent should be sized to
remove 200 CFM of air per dryer.
Large-capacity lint screens of proper
design may be used in the main
exhaust vent if checked and cleaned
frequently. The room where the dryers
are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of
all the dryers in the room.

Keep air openings free of dry

A clean-out cover should be located
on the main exhaust vent for
perlodicaltycleaning of the exhaust

An exhaust hood should cap the
outside end of the main vent to
prevent exhausted air from returning
to the dryers. If an exhaust hood
cannot be used, the outside end of
the main duct should have a sweep
elbow directed downward. If the
main vent travels vertically through
the roof, rather than through the wall,
install 180° sweep elbow on the end
of vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above
the highest part of the building. The

Gas requirements
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA
approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas
connections.
If connected to LP, have a
qualified person make sure gas
pressure does not exceed 13"
(33 era) water column. Examples
of a qualified person include
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company
personnel, and authorized
service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
OBSERVEALLGOVERNING CODES
AND ORDINANCES.
Ae This installation must conform
with local codes, or in absence of
local codes with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the
CAN/CGA - B149 installation codes,
Be The design of this dryer has
been certified by the CSA
International for use at altitudes up to
10,000 feet (3048 m) above sea level
at the B.T,U. rating indicated on the
model/serial plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when
the dryer is operated up to this
elevation.
When installed above 10,000 feet
(3048 m), a four percent (4%)
reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating
shown on the model/serial plate is
required for each 1,000 foot (305 m)
increase in elevation, For assistance
when converting to other gas types
and/or installing above 10,000 feet
(3048 m) elevation, contact your
localservicecompany,
Page 4
Ca Check that dryer is equipped
with the correct burner for the
particular type of gas used. Burner
information can be found on the
serial/rating plate In the door well of
the appliance. If this information does
not agree with the type of gas
available, see your dealer,
D mThis dryer is equipped for use
with NATURAL GAS. It is certified by
CSA International for manufactured,
mixed and L.P, (propane and
butane) gases with appropriate
conversion. No attempt shall be
made to convert the appliance from
the gas specified on the serial/rating
plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas
supplier. Conversion must be done by
a qualified service technician. Gas
conversion kit port numbers are listed
on the gas valve burner base.
E mProvide a rigid gas supply line of
1/2-inch IPSpipe to the dryer
location. If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 feet
(6.1 m), larger pLpe will be needed.
For L.P. gas usage, 3/8-Inch,
approved copper tubing may be
used, Pipe-joint compounds suitable
for use with L.P. gas should be use
FnThe supply line shall be equipped
with a shutoff valve installed within 6
ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223,1 -- latest edition*. In Canada,
an individual manual shutoff valve
must be installed in accordance with
the B 149 installation codes CAN/CGA
B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2", This
valve should be located in the same
room as the dryer and should be in a
location that aUows ease of opening
and closing. Do Not block access to
the shutoff valve.
G i If the dryer is Installed in a
confined area such as a bathroom or
closet, provision must be made for
enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes
and ordinances, or refer to the
section of this instruction covering
recessed and closet installations.)
H m If local codes and ordinances
permit, it is recommended that new
flexible metal tubing, design-certified
by the AGA or CSA, be used for
connecting the dryer to the gas
supply line, (The gas feed pipe which
extends through the lower rear of the
dryer isprovided with 3/8-inch metal
pipe thread,)
el Lfrigid __
pipe is used
asa I I
combination of pipe fittings must
be used to obtain an in-line
connection to the dryer.
J n Make sure that lower edges of
the cabinet, plus the back and
bottom sides of the dryer are free of
obstructions to permit adequate
clearance of air openings for
combustion air, See "Recessed area
and closet installation instructions,"
page 12, for minimum spacing
requirements,
Ki For ease of installation,
operation and servicing (If ever
needed) adequate space should be
provided around the dryer,
Li A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tapping,
accessible for gauge testing, must be
installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the dryer,
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.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing the
equipment shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (3,45 kPa)

that isproperly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances,
WARNING - Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
