and ensure the laundry center is installed correctly and safely. Leave these instructions near the
laundry center after installation for future reference.
NOTE: The electrical service to the laundry center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1
NOTE: The gas service to the laundry center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the Canadian Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
NOTE: The laundry center is designed under ANSI Z21.5.1 or ANSI/UL 2158- CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 112
(latest edition) for HOME USE only. This laundry center is not recommended for commercial applications

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches
(106.68 cm) of your laundry center's water inlet. The faucets
MUSTbe 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type soinlet hoses can
be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10and 120
pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs.
cold, 10 psi). Your water department can advise you of your
water )ressure.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals. per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 11Ainches (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height: 33 inches (83.82 cm)
Maximum height: 96 inches (244 cm)
t
96"Max,
---T--'- (244 cm)
33" Min.
(83.82cm)
NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a
qualified technician install a longer hose, PIN 134049201,
available from an authorized parts distributor. Fordrain systems
in the floor, install a siphon break kit, available from your local
hardware store.
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum)
flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a
swing-out damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in
operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s)
automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance
of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 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 laundry center. Failure to
follow these instructions can create excessive drying times
and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct or metal foil to
exhaust the dryer. Excessivelint can build up inside the exhaust
system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying times. If your present system is
made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, _lace it with a rigid
or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any
lint prior to installing laundry center dryer duct.
iii i i i
INCORRECT
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors some
fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation
of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire
hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to
the outside of the dwelling!
4
Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothinq,draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact
with the exhaust system. The dryer MUSTNOT be exhausted
into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
Do not exceed the lenqth of duct pipe or
number of elbows allowed in the" EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS"
chart. Lint car/accumulate in the system, plugging the system
and creating a fire hazard, aswell as increasing drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust
svstem. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or
rivets, clogging the exhaust system and creating a fire hazard
aswell asincreasing drying times. Usean approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe installed downstream
with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the laundry
center where qasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If
the laundry center isinstalled in a garage, it must be aminimum
of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion, fire or burns. The exhaust system
back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6 inches(1.52 cm) of water
column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the
exhaust connects to the dryer. The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned a minimum of every two years with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you
should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper
operation.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
the chart below.

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear
flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid
duct and 1 elbow down)
3. Left(8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid
duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid
duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right)
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4
inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will
be positioned about 4Y2inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall
(flush to wall exhausting may bedone by going below the dryer
then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned
to line up with the dryer
exhaust can be installed
directly through the outside
wall. To exhaust to the side
or down, add an 8 inch
(20.32 cm) length of standard
4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter
duct and a 90° elbow.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

of local codes, with the National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(latest edition) or in Canada, the current AN/CGA B149.
2.The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3.If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect

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 gage connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6.The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be
