■ 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 keep 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 airflow. 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°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid 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

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet on the dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location. Do not crush or kink vent, and remove any excess flexible vent to improve airflow. Make sure dryer is level.

3. Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Complete Installation

1. With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first

side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

3. Check dryer operation: Close dryer door. Insert coins in slide

and press slide in slowly. Select the Whites and Colors cycle and let the dryer run for at least five minutes.

NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate.

4. Open the dryer door. Check that the inside of the dryer is

warm. If the burner does not ignite and there is no heat inside the dryer, wait for five minutes. Check that all gas supply valves are in the “ON” position and that the electrical cord is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.

5. If drying time is too long, make sure that the lint screen is

clean and that there are no obstructions to airflow in the dryer vent system.

6. Restart the dryer and allow it to complete a full cycle to make

sure it is working properly.
