GasSupply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge
testing, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
For ease of installation, operation, and servicing adequate space
should be provided around the dryer.
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 psi (3,45 kPa).
Test all connections by brushing on an approved non-corrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found.
Shutoff valve
1/8" pipe plug
(for checking inlet

Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
The dryer must be properly installed and vented to acheive
maximum drying effienciency. Install the dryer in a well-ventilated
room where the temperature is always above 45°F (7.2°C). If the
dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be covered
under the warranty.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
[] The dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
[] Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
[] 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.
[] Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or
secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend
into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
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 metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
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" (30.5 cm) 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.
