Gas supply: Dryer is equipped for use with
NATURAL gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas.
When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2 inch IPS.
When acceptable to the gas supplier and local
codes, 3/8-inch approved tubing may be used for
lengths under 20 feet. For lengths over 20 feet,
larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint
compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must
be used. If local codes permit, it is recommended
that new flexible metal tubing, design-certified by
AGA or CSA, be used for connecting the appliance
to the rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe which
extends through the lower rear of the appliance
has 3/8-inch male pipe thread.) An individual
manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6
feet of the dryer in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

Electrical: 120-volt, 60-Hz,
AC-only, 15- or 20-amp.
electrical supply. Use copper
wire only. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker and
separate circuit is
recommended.

Exhaust venting: Exhaust
your dryer to the outside.
four-inch diameter vent is
required. Rigid or flexible
metal exhaust vent must be
used. Do Not use plastic or
metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet
hood must be at least 12
inches from the ground or
any object that may be in the
path of the exhaust.

RECESSED AREA AND CLOSET INSTALLATION

EXHAUST VENTING

Closet confined area

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the
installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Avoid making 90° turns.

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend flexible
metal vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Determine vent length

1. See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your type hood for the maximum vent
lengths you can use.

Do not use vent runs longer than specified in exhaust vent length charts.

2. Determine the number of elbows you will need.

3. In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid or flexible), find the
maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.

The maximum length using a 2" x 6" rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 2-1/2"
exhaust hood is 8 ft.
