Gasrequirements: Supplyline requirements:
Check that dryer is
equipped with the correct
burner for the particular
type or gas in the home.
Burner information will be
found on the model/serial
rating plate in door well of
the dryer. If this information
does not agree with the type of gas available,
see your dealer.
Natural Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with NATURAL
GAS. It is design-certified by American Gas
Association for L.R (propane or butane) gases
with appropriate conversion.
L,R Gas:
No attempt shall be made to convert the
appliance from the gas specified on the
model/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
numbers are listed on the gas valve burner
base.
Burnerinputrequirements:
Elevations up to 10,000 feet:
The design of this dryer has been certified by
the A.G.A. for use at altitudes up to 10,000 feet
above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indicated on
the model/serial rating plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when the dryer is
operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 feet:
When installed above 10,OO0feet_ a four
percent (4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U.
rating shown on the model/serial rating plate is
required for each 1,000 foot increase in
elevation. For assistance installing dryer above
10,0go feet elevation, contact your serving gas
supplier.
Provide a rigid gas supply line to the dryer
location. When rigid pipe is used it should be
IJ2 inch IPS. When acceptable to the gas
supplier and local codes, 318-inch approved
tubing may be used for lengths under 20 feet.
For lengths over 20 feet, larger tubing should
be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to
the action of L.P. gas must be used.

If local codes permit, it
isrecommendedthat
new flexible metal
tubing, design-
certified by the
American Gas
Association, be
used for connecting
the appliance to the rigid red cap
gas supply line. (The gas
pipe which extends through the lower rear
of the appliance has 3/8-inch male pipe
thread.)
A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing
or that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psi.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi.
Fire Hazard
Use e heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to do so can _esult in death or
fire.
DO Not use non metal flexible vent or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
Metal exhaust vent must be four inches
in diameter.
Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space,
or any other vent used for venting.
Do Not install flexible vent in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors,
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED to the outside,
Moisture and lint indoors may cause:
• lint to gather around the dryer where it can be
fuel for a fire.
• moisture damage to woodwork, furniture,
paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc,
• housecleaning problems and health problems.
Dura SafeTM venting products are
recommended and are available from your
dealer.
Fourdnch diameter vent is required.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do Not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and
supported when the dryer is in
its final position. Remove excess --
flexible vent to avoid sagging
and kinking that may result in __
reduced air flow.
An exhaust hood should cap
the exhaust vent to prevent
rodents and insects from
entering the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must be
at least 12 inches from the ground or any object
that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc,),
If using an existing exhaust system, clean lint
from entire length of 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.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do Not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
Mobile homeinstallation
requirements
If codes permit, this appliance is suitable for
mobile home installations. The installation of
the dryer must conform to Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title
24 CFR,Part 3280 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Homes Construction and
Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or latest
edition.
The dryer must be fastened to the floor.
Order Mobile Home Installation Kit, Part No.
346764, from your dealer. Kit includes the
necessaryfastening hardware and detailed
installation instructions. Metal exhaust system
isalso available through your dealer.
The dryer must be exhausted outside.

The exhaust vent can be
routed up, down, left,

back of the dryer. See
"Recessedarea/closet

Panel A, for general
space requirements.
Determine vent length
The maximum length of the exhaust system
depends upon:
-- the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal).
-- the number of elbows used.
-- if a combination of rigid and flexible metal
vent is used.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
exhaust vent length charts.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire
hazard.
-- Shorten the life of the dryer.
-- Reduce performance, resulting in
longer drying times and increased
energy usage.

Select the route that will provide the
straightest and most direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number
of elbows and turns.
When using elbows or making turns, allow
