Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

  • The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only rigid or flexible vent shall be used for exhausting.
  • Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.
  • Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
  • Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
  • Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

  • Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

  • Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
  • Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
  • Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
  • The total length should not exceed 7% ft. (2.4 m).

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center. The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer, or straight out the back of the dryer. See “Product Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

Make-up air:

Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 square inch [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so that the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location of exhaust vents exiting the building.

Vent System Length

Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.

The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

Maximum Vent Length

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor.

Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” sections.

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/2" (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2/" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Connect Vent

1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.

2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer.

3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.

4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

5. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor.

If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/2" (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2/" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used

The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward.

If the main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on the end of the vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the highest part of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be centered in the opening. Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.

Multiple Dryer Venting

  • A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
  • A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

Gas Dryer Installation Requirements

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

  • A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
  • A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

Gas dryer installation clearances

  • The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to be fully opened.
  • Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
  • Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
  • Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

When installing a gas dryer:

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

  • Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” below for minimum spacing requirements.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer or in “Dimensions/Clearances.”

The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and ordinances.

If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent air openings are acceptable.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same closet as the dryer.

Type of Gas

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is designcertified by CSA International for propane and butane gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. Gas conversion kit part number is W10402145. This number can also be found on a label on the gas valve burner base.

Gas Supply Line

Recommended Method

Provide a gas supply line of 1⁄2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1⁄2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m2 ). The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the equipment shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig (352 kg/m2 ).

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm) approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, aNsI Z223.1. This valve should be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" male pipe thread.)

NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line when moving the dryer.

Rigid Pipe Connection

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

  • Control is set up properly and display shows cycle time.
  • Cycle selection button has been pushed firmly.
  • For gas dryers, check that gas supply shut-off valves are set in open position.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: After the dryer has been installed and plugged in, the display will show “0 MINUTES.” After the door has been opened and closed, the display will show the vend price.

General User Information

SCROLLING “OUT OF ORDER” MESSAGE, FOLLOWED BY A FAILURE OR DIAGNOSTIC CODE, SHOWING IN DISPLAY -

This condition indicates the dryer is inoperative.

“0 MINUTES” SHOWING IN DISPLAY - This indicates the dryer cannot be operated. Coins dropped or debit inputs during this condition will be stored in escrow but cannot be used until normal operation is restored by opening and closing the door.

If a door switch has failed, causing “0 MINUTES” to remain in the display after the door is opened and closed, it must be replaced before normal operation can be restored.

COLD START (Initial first use) - Dryer is programmed at the factory as follows: $1.50 dry price (30 minutes). 9160 model only: $0 dry price (45 minutes)

WARM START (after power failure) - A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in progress at the time of the power failure, “RESELECT CYCLE” will flash in the display, indicating the need for a fabric setting button to be pressed to restart dryer.

PRICING - After the door is opened and then closed following the completion of a cycle, the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free operation, where the display will flash “SELECT CYCLE”). As coins are dropped or debit inputs arrive, the display will change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.

There are four (4) types of dryer pricing:

Fixed “Vend” Pricing

A dryer setup for “Fixed Cycle” operation can only accept additional time accumulated by increments equal to the length of a complete dry cycle. A maximum of 75 minutes may be purchased; no additional credit is given for coins dropped with 75 minutes in the display.

Accumulator Pricing

If option d is set to d. 00, and the 6 code is set to one coin 1, then accumulator pricing is in effect. Cycle time can be purchased one coin at a time up to the maximum time of 75 minutes.

Fixed Cycle With Top Off Pricing (available for use with coin drops or card readers only)

A dryer set to offer “Top Off” capability will allow time to be added to an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the number of minutes of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 75 minutes, regardless of the cost required to start the dryer.

No credit is given for coins or debit inputs entered when the control is displaying 75 minutes.

FREE CYCLES - This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When this happens, “SELECT CYCLE” will appear rather than a cycle price. Any cycle started as a free cycle will automatically terminate when the door is opened.

DEBIT CARD READY - This dryer is debit card ready. It will accept a variety of debit card systems, but does NOT come with a debit card reader. Refer to the debit card reader manufacturer for proper dryer setup. When a Generation 2 card reader is installed, the dryer is placed in enhanced debit mode. In Enhanced Debit Mode, the top off price can be set independently (see VALUE OF COIN 2), and the top off time is calculated according to the following equation:

In models converted to a Generation 1 debit card system, debit pulses represent the equivalent of one coin (coin 1).

NOTE: Enhanced debit mode cannot be deselected.

Control Set-up Procedures

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before operating.

The fabric setting buttons along with the digital display are used to set up the dryer controls.

The display can contain 4 numbers and/or letters and a decimal point. These are used to indicate the set-up codes and related code values available for use in programming the dryer.
