IMPORTANT: The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature remains
between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
Unpacking / Setting Up ________________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and
optional shipping box) from the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be transported and handled in an
upright position at all times.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached
to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove the skid from
the SD35, SD50, or SD80, locate and remove the 2 bolts
securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. One is
located at the center rear and the other is at the center front
and is accessed by opening the lint door.
With the skid removed, use caution and assure all four leveling
legs are fully retracted if the dryer is to be slid into its final
position.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four leveling legs, one at each
corner of the base. For optimum performance the dryer should
be level front-to-back and side-to-side.
Reversing the Main Loading
and Lint Door Hinge Side
The dryer is shipped with the main and lint door hinges on the
right-hand side as standard. The swing of the doors is field
reversible. If required, the front panel can reversed so that
the doors hinge on the left-hand side.
Procedure for reversing the Front Panel:
1. Disconnect the power to the dryer.
2. Remove the main loading door from the front panel by
removing the top hinge block. A 3/16” Allen wrench is
required. Support the door while removing the top hinge
block so that it does not fall. Now lift the door off the
bottom hinge.
3. Remove the bottom hinge block. Remove the plastic
washer from the bottom hinge block and place it in the
same location on the top hinge block.
4. Remove the lint door from the dryer. Open the lint door
and remove the four screws retaining the lint door hinges.
5. Remove the three screws retaining the front panel at the
bottom. Swing the bottom of the front panel away from
the dryer about three inches. Reach behind the front
panel and disconnect the door switch plug located in the
lower right corner.
6. Open the control door and remove the four screws
retaining the front panel at the top. Be careful that the
front panel does not fall when the last screw is removed.
7. Remove the front panel from the machine and place it
face down on a flat surface.
8. There is a trim piece at the bottom of the front panel.
Remove the four screws retaining the trim piece.
Reposition the trim piece on the top of the panel and install

9. Back on the dryer there is a second plug for the door
switch, located inside the upper left corner of the dryer.
This plug is similar to the one in the power right
disconnected earlier, except there is a jumper on this plug.
Remove the jumper and install it on the plug in the lower
right.
10. Reinstall the front panel on the dryer with the trim piece
on the bottom. Check that the mounts for the door hinge
are on the left-hand side. Be sure to connect the door
switch plug now in the upper left corner of the dryer.
11. Reinstall the retaining screws, top and bottom.
12. Reinstall the lint door with the hinges on the left-hand
side.

Fresh Air Supply Requirements _______
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the
appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national
installation regulations.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it,
passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the
building. Therefore, the room air must be continually
replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is
inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely
affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering” problems
may result, as well as premature motor failure from
overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions for
adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration
to ensure proper performance of each dryer. As a general
rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors of 70 inch2
(451 cm2) for each SD35, 125 inch2(806 cm2) for each SD50,
and 135 inch2(870 cm2) is required for each SD80. (Based
on 1-inch2[6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening
for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable.
However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-
up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be increased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at high altitudes or
predominantly low pressure areas.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of four SD35 dryers, two unrestricted
openings measuring 12-inches by 12-inches (30.5 cm by 30.5
cm) are acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be free of dry cleaning
solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry
cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to
the motors and other dryer components.
A = 12-inches (30.5 cm)
B = 12-inches (30.5 cm)
A The requirement to allow the lint door to open completely for the

Exhaust Requirements ________________
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit
protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper
exhaust duct connection to the outside.
The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney,
wall, ceiling or concealed space of a building.
The design of the flue system shall be such that any
condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold
shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or
discharged.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can
create a potential fire hazard.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the
ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. There should be a minimum
6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the back guard and the
first bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or
independent dryer venting is recommended. It is suggested
that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° bends
instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2
times the diameter of the duct. All ductwork should be smooth
inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other
obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts,
overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork joints must
be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the
building. Back draft dampers must be installed in all commonly
ducted systems. Inspection doors should be installed at
strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection
and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a
manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be no less
than 0 and must not exceed 0.6 in WC (1.5 mb).
NOTE: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not
be used in the exhaust ductwork system except where
necessary to maintain exhaust back pressure (in the
exhaust duct) between zero and 0.6 inch water column.
Where employed, booster fans must not activate the dryer
airflow proving switch (sail switch) when the dryer is not in
operation.
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall,
ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening
must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way
around). The duct must be centered within this opening.
As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type
2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other
noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in
strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of
galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge
(0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”
The ductwork for this appliance must be suitable for the
appliance category in accordance with national installation
regulations of the country of destination.
Outside Ductwork Protection
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the
weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where
the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically
up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather
by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either
case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between
the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (refer to the
diagram).
IMPORTANT: Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Single Dryer Venting (SD35)
IMPORTANT: For the SD35, a minimum exhaust duct size
of 6-inches (15.24 cm) must be used.
For a 6-inch (15.24 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of
one elbow is used, the ductwork from the dryer outlet must
not exceed dimension “A” in the following illustration.
SD35 ONLY
HORIZONTAL SINGLE DRYER VENTING
6-INCH (15.24 CM) DUCTING
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds
the above noted specifications, the cross-sectional area of
the ductwork may need to be increased.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross
section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits
noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm should be
consulted for proper venting information.
Single Dryer Venting (SD35, SD50, SD80)
IMPORTANT: A minimum exhaust duct size of 8-inches
(20.32 cm) must be used.
For an 8-inch (20.32 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of
one elbow is used, the ductwork from the dryer outlet must
not exceed dimension “A” in the following illustration on the
next page.

113538-7 Telephone [phone]
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-
sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits
as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm should
be consulted for proper venting information.
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each
dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a
“common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º
in the direction of airflow. The main duct should be tapered,
with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is
added.
Combined Vertical
and Horizontal Dryer Venting
For an 8-inch (20.32 cm) combined vertical and horizontal
run, the dryer to the outside outlet cannot exceed the sum of
dimensions “A” and “B” in the following illustration.
This calculation of “A” and “B” compensates or allows for the
use of a maximum of 3 elbows including one elbow which is
the outside outlet protection. Refer to the illustration below.

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes,
grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that
a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be connected
from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold
water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or hot water pipe.
The grounded cold water pipe must have metal-to-metal
connection all the way to the electrical ground. If there are
any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped
out with a wire (size per local codes) and securely clamped to
bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the
dryer must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
The means for disconnection from the supply must be
incorporated into wiring having a minimum contact separation
of 3.0mm in all poles.
Single-Phase (1ø)
