Gas supply: Dryer is equipped for use with
Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas. A
1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and
must be reduced to connect to the 3/8" (1.0 cm) gas
line on the dryer. Pipe joint compounds resistant to
the action of L.P. gas must be used. An individual
manual shutoff valve must be installed within
6' (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Cod ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical
supply on a separate 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker
is required.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent is required.
Heavy metal exhaust vent must be used. Do not use
plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must
be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any
object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and
most direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to
use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Avoid
making 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends
upon:
• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal)
• The number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your
hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than
specified in the Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are
using (rigid metal or flexible metal), find the maximum
length of metal vent of the same line as the number of
elbows.
