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. Pipe-joint 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.
