Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be
exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number
of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, aswell as increase drying
times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the
screwsor rivets, clogging the duct work and creating afire hazard
aswell as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and sealalljoints with duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe installed downstream with
the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If
the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire or burns.

INSTALLMALEFITTINGSINCORRECTDIRECTION
In installations where the exhaust system isnot described in the
charts, the following method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system isacceptable:
I. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the
dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Setthe dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool
down) and start the dryer.
3. Readthe measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUSTNOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is lessthan 0.75 inches of water column, the
system isacceptable. If the manometer reading is
higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is
too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the
performance of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
• Running the exhaust systemthrough an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster accumulation
of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every 18months with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of
the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing
Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts
distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Replace copper connecting pipe that is not
plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST
be used.
I. Installation MUSTconform with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1
(latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect
your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUSThave an individual shutoff valve.
