Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the tumble
dryer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
for the proper grounding of the tumble dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Do not allow children to play on or in the tumble
dryer. This appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
5. Before the tumble dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment and the door to the lint
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the tumble dryer if the cylinder
is revolving.
7. Do not install or store the tumble dryer where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of the tumble
dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter daily.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the tumble dryer and the exhaust
duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
15. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
16. Tumble dryer will not operate with the loading
door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety
switch to permit the tumble dryer to operate with
the door open. The tumble dryer will stop
tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the
tumble dryer if it does not stop tumbling when
the door is opened or starts tumbling without
pressing or turning the START mechanism.
Remove the tumble dryer from use and call for
service.
17. Tumble dryer will not operate with lint panel
open. DO NOT bypass lint panel safety switch to
permit the tumble dryer to operate with the lint

Fire Suppression System
G
, H, K, S and U Models Only
Water Requirements
IMPORTANT: Water must be supplied to the fire
suppression system, or the fire suppression system
will not operate as intended.
Connection point to the electric water solenoid valve is
a 19 mm (3/4 inch) hose. The fire suppression system
equipped tumble dryer must be supplied with a
minimum water pipe size of 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) and be
provided with a minimum of 138 kPa (20 psi) and a
maximum of 827 kPa (120 psi) of pressure at all times.
Flowrate must be no less than, but approximately 57
liters (15 gallons) per minute.
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 pounds
per square inch) will cause low flow and water
leakage at water solenoid valve.
IMPORTANT: Temperature of the water supply
must be kept between 4.4° and 48.9°C (40° and
120°F). If water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the fire suppression system will not
operate.
IMPORTANT: If temperature sensors inside the
tumble dryer register a temperature below 4.4°C
(40°F), the fire suppression system control will lock
out. This feature protects against operation of the
tumble dryer with a possible frozen water supply.
Only when the temperature sensors register a
temperature above 4.4°C (40°F) will the machine
reset for operation.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections will void the warranty. It is
recommended that a filter or strainer be installed
in the water supply line.
Water Connections
Figure 2
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger tight, then turn 1/4 turn with
pliers. Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings.
IMPORTANT: Replace all hoses every five years.
NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as
optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses
supplied with the tumble dryer are not long enough
for installation. Order hoses as follows:
Part No. 20617 Inlet hose 2.44 m (8 feet)
Part No. 20618 Inlet hose 3.05 m (10 feet)
Electrical Requirements
No independent external power source or supply
connection is necessary. Power to operate the 24 Volt
fire suppression system is from the rear junction/
contactor box.

Auxiliary Alarm
During tumble dryer installation, you have the option
to connect a separate alarm system to this auxiliary
output. Use of the auxiliary output is not required for
the fire suppression system to operate, but may be
used for additional protection.
NOTE: The auxiliary output is activated during
fire suppression system maintenance test sequence.
Consider this fact prior to your system test every
three months. (Example: If the external system
uses the auxiliary output to call the fire
department, inform the fire department before and
after the fire suppression system maintenance test.)
Gas Requirements
Natural Gas and Liquefied Petroleum
IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or
conversions must be made by the Manufacturer’s
Authorized Dealers, Distributors, or local service
personnel.
IMPORTANT: The tumble dryer must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any

General Information
This information is to be used when installing gas
tumble dryers in countries, and/or on gases, different
than the machine’s factory configuration. Tumble
dryers are supplied from the factory for operation on
Natural Gas 8914 kcal/m3(1000 Btu/cu ft.) or L.P. Gas
22,250 kcal/m3(2500 Btu/cu ft.) in the countries of
GB/IE/PT/ES/IT/GR/LU/CH. To install machines in
any other country or on any other gas requires some
level of modification.
Models are built in two different configurations:
•Regulated Natural Gas – Injector is sized for
Natural Gas, second family, group H (E) at
20 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/governor is
operational. Gas valve CAN be field-converted
to a non-regulating type.
•Unregulated Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas –
Injector is sized for L.P. Gas, third family, group
3+ at 28.37 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/
governor is blocked open. Gas valve CANNOT
be field-converted to a regulating type.
Serial plates supplied from the factory are configured
for the countries of GB/IE/PT/ES/IT/GR/LU/CH.
These instructions pertain to the situations when the
country of use or gas supply is different than that on
the serial plate.
NOTE: This manual is only a supplement. Refer to
installation/operation manual for full instructions.

Exhaust Requirements
Make-Up Air
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
A tumble dryer is forced air exhausted and requires
provisions for make-up air to replace the air exhausted
by the tumble dryer.
Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict air
flow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
If it is necessary to duct make-up air to tumble
dryer(s), increase area of ductwork by 25% to
compensate for any restriction in air movement.
Venting
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth to prevent the accumulation of lint.
DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or Type B flexible ducts
– rigid metal ducts are recommended. Use exhaust
ducts made of sheet metal or other noncombustible
material. Use of duct tape or pop rivets on all seams
and joints is recommended, if allowed by local codes.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumble dryer(s).
NOTE: The ducts must be equivalent in strength
and corrosion resistance to ducts made of
galvanized sheet steel not less than 0.495 mm
(0.0195 inches) thick.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do
not install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumble dryers. It is better to have the water heater
in a separate room with a separate air inlet.
NOTE: This manual is only a supplement. Refer to
installation/operation manual for full instructions.

Table 2
A drying tumble dryer produces
combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire,
the tumble dryer must be exhausted to the
outdoors.
W057R1
To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation
of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust
tumbler air into a window well, gas vent,
chimney or enclosed, unventilated area
such as an attic, ceiling, crawl space under
a building, or concealed space of a
building.
