DRYER SAFETY

In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

■ Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or licensed by

the State of Massachusetts.

■ Acceptable Shut-off Devices: Gas Cocks and Ball Valves installed for use shall be listed.

■ A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 4 feet (121.9 cm).

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re. To reduce the risk of re due to contaminated loads, the nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■ The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only rigid or exible vent shall be used for exhausting.

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps

may be used.

■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use screws or other

fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as owers, rocks, or bushes).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or exible metal vent.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

Good

Better

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center. The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,

or straight out the back of the dryer. See “Product Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

Make-up air:

Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 square inch [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so that the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location of exhaust vents exiting the building.

Vent System Length

Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

For vent systems not covered by the vent specication chart, see your parts distributor.

Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” sections.

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½" (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Connect Vent

1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.

2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet

in dryer.

Vent Collar

NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.

4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with

a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

5. Move dryer into nal position. Do not crush or kink vent.

Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).

For vent systems not covered by the vent specication chart, see your parts distributor.

If dryer is installed in a conned area, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used

The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward.

Multiple Dryer Venting

■ A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The

main 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 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.

■ A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a

commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

30˚ max.

Air ow

Air flow

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

If the main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on the end of the vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the highest part of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be centered in the opening.

Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.

Use an adjustable wrench or 1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench to nish turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. Then t a covered foot boot over each leg foot. For oors with greater slopes, a longer leveling foot (part no. 279810) is available.

To protect the oor, use a large piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer until it is close to its nal location. Leave enough room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

On some models: The meter case houses the factory-installed coin slide mechanism, service lock and key, and coin box lock and key.

3. Install coin slide and coin box

Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)

Diamond Marking

Foot

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key in the meter case opening.

Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

LEVELING

Leveling your dryer properly reduces excess noise and vibration. 2. Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all

four feet are rmly on oor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side to side. If dryer rocks, adjust leveling feet.

1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top

edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip dryer and adjust feet up or down, repeating as necessary.

3. If dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet counterclockwise

to lower the dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck levelness of dryer and that all four feet are rmly in contact with the oor. Repeat as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of dryer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS DRYER

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to propane, have a qualified person make

sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm) 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.

2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound

approved for the type of gas supplied. If exible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.

If necessary for service, open the front lower service panel by using a 1/4" nutdriver to remove the 2 hex-head screws from the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.

3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure

the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.
