and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas

dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum

(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service

must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column

pressure.

2. Important: DO NOT connect the dryer to the

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas service without

converting the gas value.

3. A qualified technician must perform the LP Gas

conversion. Contact your local gas service branch

if you require additional assistance or

information.

4. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping

system by closing its individual manual shut-off

valve, during any pressure testing of the gas

supply system at test pressure equal to or less

than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).

5. Supply l.ine Requirements. Your laundry room

must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.

In the United States, an individual manual shutoff

valve MUST be installed within at least 6 feet

(1 .Sm) of the dryer, in accordance with the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.

N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.

prevent gas valve contamination, before tightening

connection between gas supply and dryer, pmge

remaining air until odor of gas is identified; and

DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas

leaks; instead, use a non-corrosive leak detection

fluid.

WARNING!

• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas

supply line.

• Instal a shut-off valve.

• Securely tighten all gas connections.

• If connected to LP, have a qualified person

make sure gas pressure does not exceed

13 in. water column.

• Examples of a qualified person include

licensed heating personnel, authorized gas

company personnel, and authorized service

personnel.

• Failure to do so can result in death

explosion, or fire.

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.

,_t Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT

exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas

vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil

ducting.

Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer

and you should obtain the necessary venting

materials locally. For example, the outer end of

exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with

hinged dampers to prevent back-draft when the

dryer is not in use.

2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm)

in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust

duct should be kept as short as possible. Make

sure to clean any old ducts before installing your

new dryer.

3. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Do not install

flexible duct in concealed spaces.

Non-combustible flexible metal duct is

acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe

joints or other fastening means which extend into

the duct that could catch lint and reduce the

efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints

with duct tape.

5. To maximize operating results, please observe the

duct length limitations noted in the chart above.

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

Disconnect the dryer,s electric power

prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

1. After one year of use, the interior and complete

exhaust system of the dryer should be examined

and cleaned if necessary.

2. You should inspect and clean the exhaust duct at

least yearly.

3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure

the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers

are not pushed in and that nothing has been set

against the dampers.

4. A qualified service person or company should be

used to perform this maintenance.

5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost,

can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed

in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two

pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and

the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet.

Following attachment of the two separate pieces

to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be

returned to its final position, after which the two

pieces themselves can be connected.

7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care.

Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and

always immediately wipe the exterior of the

dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or other

washing products is spilled on the dryer, because

these products may cause permanent damage to

the exterior finish of the dryer.

8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as

necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products

may damage the finish of the control panel.

9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying

each load or after drying each load.

10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before

starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter

may increase drying times.

11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to

the vacuum duct. See item #2 above.

12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided

inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires

prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,

because wiring errors can cause serious injury

to you and your dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load

or after drying each load. Always make sure the

lint filter is clean before starting a new load,

because a clogged lint filter may increase drying

times.

To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll

any lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not

rinse or wash screen to remove lint, because wet

lint is hard to remove. Push the lint screen firmly

back into place.

Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured

before running the dryer. Running the dryer with

a loose lint screen may cause overheating and

damage to the dryer and articles being dried.

Some articles may shed more lint than other

towels (for example, towels made of synthetic

fibers and natural fibers), causing the lint screen

to become congested more quickly. Remove lint

from the lint screen before and after drying these

articles, such as new towels.

In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and

into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust

hood and remove any lint.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can

build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying

times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off

the screen. In order to prevent this type of build

up, and help ensure proper operation of your

dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush

every six months or, if necessary, more

frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as

follows:

a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your

fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or

warm water.

b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid

detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush

to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric

softener.

c) Repeat as necessary.

d) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen

with hot water.

e) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,

firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.

Following are instructions for starting and using your new dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for

more detailed information. Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to person, read

this entire manual, including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this dryer.
