Gas supply: This 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" IPS. When acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8"
approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m).
For lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing should be used. Pipejoint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used.
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft (1.8
m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker and a
separate circuit are recommended.
Water (Steam models only): The dryer must be connected to the
cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do
not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)
diameter vent is required. Rigid or exible metal exhaust vent must
be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood must be
at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in
the path of the exhaust.
Hood styles: A & B are recommended.
