Installing the Dryer
Step 1: 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 18 inches (46 cm)
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 must not rock.
The dryers needs sufficient clearance and an adequate
air supply for proper operation and ventilation, and for
easier installation and servicing. (Minimum clearances
are shown below).

air. The free area of any opening for the
introduction of outside air must be at least 25 in.2
(163 cm2).
•In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct
must be secured to mobile home structure.
•Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under
mobile home.
•Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other
duct, vent, or chimney.
•Dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of
dryer).
•Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces,
such as a wall or ceiling.
•Energy efficient homes with low air filtration
rates should be equipped with an air exchanger
that can accomodate on demand make-up air
needs in the home. These devices can be obtained
through your building contractor or building
material suppliers.
•Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be
greater than .6 inches water column (1.5 cm),
measured with manometer placed on exhaust
duct two feet (61 cm) 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).

Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the
back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION:
Gas dryers cannot be vented out the left side
because of the burner housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a Directional Exhaust Kit,
528P3, available as optional equipment at extra cost.
Exhaust System
For best drying results, recommended maximum
length of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,
outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood
with hinged dampers (obtain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger
clearances may be necessary for installations where
heavy snowfall can occur.

Step 3: (Gas Dryer Only) Connect Gas
Supply Pipe
1. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with
the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is
equipped at the factory for Natural Gas with a
3/8 inch NPT gas connection.
NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must
conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in
the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft3(37.3 MJ/m3) service must
be supplied at minimum 5.0 inch water column
pressure to maximum 10.5 inch water column
pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 2500 feet
(760 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be
reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to
Table 2.
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. Connect to gas supply pipe using a new flexible
stainless steel connector.
NOTE: When connecting to a gas line, an
equipment shut-off valve must be installed within
6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryer. An 1/8 in. NPT pipe plug
must be installed as shown for checking inlet
pressure. Refer to Figure 5.
.
To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or
explosion:
• The dryer must be connected to the type
of gas as shown on nameplate located in
the door recess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel
connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P.
(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape,
on all pipe threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply
line before connecting it to the dryer.
Before tightening the connection, purge
remaining air from gas line to dryer until
odor of gas is detected. This step is
required to prevent gas valve
contamination.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
• Any disassembly requiring the use of
tools must be performed by a suitably
qualified service person.
