Step 2: Position and Level the Dryer

Install dryer before washer. This allows room for

attaching exhaust duct.

Select a location with a solid floor. Dryers installed in

residential garages must be elevated 46 cm (18 inches)

above the floor.

No other fuel burning appliance should be installed in

the same closet with the dryer.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area

where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer

with a 1/4 inch driver. All four legs must rest firmly on

the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly

distributed.

The dryer needs sufficient clearance and an adequate

air supply for proper operation and ventilation, and for

W354

WARNING

514463

· DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or type B ducting.

Rigid metal duct is recommended. Refer to

Figure 4.

· Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as

possible.

· Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing

your new dryer.

· Use 102 mm (4 inch) diameter rigid or flexible

metal duct.

· The male end of each section of duct must point

away from the dryer.

· Use as few elbows as possible.

· Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams and

joints is recommended, if allowed by local codes.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on

exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct

and catch lint.

· Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must

be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint

build-up on pipe walls.

· Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer

installations.

· In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct

must be secured to mobile home structure.

· Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under

mobile home.

· Dryer exhausts 180 cfm (measured at back of

dryer).

· DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed

spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

· Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be

greater than .1 kPa water column (.4 in.),

measured with manometer placed on exhaust

duct 61 cm (2 ft.) from dryer (check with dryer

running and no load).

· Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can

be done by installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent

Kit (available as optional equipment at extra

cost).

· Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to

replace the air exhausted by the dryer. The free

area of any opening for outside air must be at

least 260 cm

(40 in.

· Energy efficient buildings with low air

infiltration rates should be equipped with an air

exchanger that can accommodate on demand

make-up air needs in the laundry room. These

devices can be obtained through your building

contractor or building material suppliers.

· Do not draw make-up air from a room containing

a gas fired water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair

salon.

· Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void

warranty.

NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the

dryer (obtain locally).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the

bottom of the dryer’s front panel with laundry,

rugs, etc. Blockage will decrease airflow through

the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of the dryer.

NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must

conform with the local codes and ordinances and

in Australia and New Zealand

, installation must

comply with the Gas Installations Standard AS/

NZS 5601 Part 1: General Installations. In the

absence of local codes and ordinances, applicable

National codes should be followed.

Connection of Gas Supply Pipe

1. Install the dryer with sufficient clearance for

adequate air circulation, and for the ease of the

dryer installation, servicing and operation. For

maximum drying performance, we recommend

you allow more clearance than the clearances that

are listed throughout this manual.

2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection

at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you do not

damage the pipe threads when removing the cap.

3. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with

the type of gas in your laundry room.

NOTE: Natural gas, 37.3 MJ/m

(1000 Btu/ft

service must be supplied at 1.13 kPa (4.54 inch)

water column pressure. Do not connect the dryer to

L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) gas service without

converting the gas valve. A No. 401P3 L.P. Gas

Conversion Kit must be installed by the

Manufacturer’s Authorized Dealers, Distributors,

or local service personnel.

NOTE: L.P. gas, 93.1 MJ/m

(2500 Btu/ft

), service

must be supplied at 2.75 kPa (11.04 inch) water

column pressure and a vent to the outdoors must be

provided.

WARNING

NOTE: When connecting gas supply line, a

pressure test point must be installed downstream

from the shutoff valve for checking inlet gas

pressure.

5. The gas line to your laundry room should be

made of black iron pipe. A 3/8 inch pipe with an

inside diameter of 11.7 mm (0.46 inch) will be

adequate if length of supply line is not over 6 m

(20 feet). If length exceeds this, use 12.7 mm

(1/2 inch) pipe. If copper semi-rigid tubing is

used it must be internally tinned or equivalently

treated to resist sulfur corrosion.

NOTE: The dryer and its appliance main gas valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of that system

at test pressures in excess of 3.45 kPa (1/2 psig).

6. Check all pipe connections (internal and

external) for gas leaks with a soapy solution. Gas

connections should be checked annually for

leakage.

7. Be sure the shut off valve in your dryer is OPEN.

Your dryer is shipped with the valve open.

8. The dryer gas valve is equipped with a pressure

test point for checking manifold pressure.

For proper operation at altitudes above 760 m

(2500 feet) the gas valve spud orifice size must be

reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to

Table 2 and Tabl e 3.

Earthing Instructions

The dryer must be earthed. In the event of malfunction

or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric

shock by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. The dryer is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-earthing conductor and a

three-prong earthing plug. The plug must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

earthed in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer – if it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

If the electrical supply does not meet the above

specifications and/or you are not sure your building

has an effective earth, have a qualified electrician or

your local electrical utility company check it and

correct any problems.

Step 8: Recheck steps 1-7

Refer to Installer Checklist on the back cover of this

manual and make sure that unit is installed correctly.

Improper connection of the equipment-

earthing conductor can result in a risk of

Step 9: Check Heat Source

Electric Dryers

Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat

setting (refer to the Dryer User’s Guide supplied with

the unit). After the dryer has operated for three

minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be

warm.

Gas Dryers

IMPORTANT: This operation is to be conducted

by qualified personnel only.

To view the burner flame, remove the lower front

panel of the dryer.

Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting

(refer to the Dryer User’s Guide supplied with the

unit). The dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and

the main burner will ignite.

IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas

line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If

this happens, after approximately two minutes

igniter will again attempt gas ignition.

IMPORTANT: If igniter does not light, make sure

gas is turned on.

After the dryer has operated for approximately five

minutes, observe burner flame through lower front

panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform

blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack

of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too

much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.

2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous

yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to

the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.

3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,

tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.

4. Reinstall the lower front panel.

After the dryer has operated for approximately three

minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

All Dryers

If the dryer heat source is not functioning correctly,

refer to the Troubleshooting section of the Dryer

User’s Guide for corrective action.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death,

the lower front panel must be in place

during normal operation.
