GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Replace copper connecting pipe tha t is not
plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST
be used.
1. InstalBtion MUSTconform with localcodes, or in ttle absence of localcodes, with the National FuelGasCode, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line stlould be of I/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be usedto connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT.plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gassupply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUSTbe disconnected from the gassupply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures in excessof I/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUSTbe isolated from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gassupply piping
system at test pressures equal to or lessthan
1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. Toavoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi- rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer assuitablefor usewith clothes dryers and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easilycrushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be
exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceilinq, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. if the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the Bundrv area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any conceded space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number
of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying
times.
mncorrect
L
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets,dogging the duct work and creating afire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, andsealall joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with
the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored, if
the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire or burns.

VENTHOODTYPE
Although vertical orientation of the exhaustsystemisacceptable, certain extenuating circumstancescould affect the performance
of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust systemto down drafts causing an increasein vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an uninsuJated area may causecondensation and faster accumulation of lint.
° Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause
an increase in vent restriction.
Theexhaust systemshould be inspectedand cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is
used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory areset up for rear exhausting. However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or
left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gasdryers, exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet orthe bottom
of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your
parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

(10.2 cm)
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system isacceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Setthe dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Readthe measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUSTNOTbe higher than 0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure is less
than 0.75 inchesof water column, the system isacceptable.
ifthe manometer reading ishigher than 0.75 inchesof water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER
DO NOTINSTALL YOUR DRYER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
2. Inanarea where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
3. On carpet. Floor MUSTbe solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
INSTALLATION IN RECESSOR CLOSET
1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recessor closet, MUSTbe exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed inthe same closet asthe Gasdryer.
3. Your dryer needsthe space around it for proper ventilation.
DO NOT install your dryer in a closet with a solid door.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air openings are required to be unobstructed
when a door isinstalled. A Iouvered door with equivalent air
openings for the full length of the door isacceptable.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
1. Dryer MUSTbe exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct ispreferred.
2. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.
73.When instaNinga gasdryer into a mobile home, a provision
must be made for outside make up air.This provision isto
be not lessthan twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
4. This dryer MUST be fastened to the floor. Mobile Home
