Heat Check . . .
(Electric Dryers)
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
Burner Flame . . .
(Gas Dryers)
IMPORTANT: This operation to be conducted by qualified personnel only.
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel
of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and
the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If ignitor is not lit, make sure gas is
turned on.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately one minute,
igniter will again attempt gas ignition. If ignition
does not occur after the fourth ignition attempt, the
control will lock out and red light will flash (see
figure at right). If lockout occurs, open loading
door for one minute to reset control. When control
is properly reset, flashing will stop.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the
right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
d. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death,
the lower front panel must be in place
during normal operation. W158

Dryer Exhaust Requirements . . .
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible
metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or
flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor
drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to
a fire hazard.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints
or other fastening means which extend into the duct
that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
Make-Up Air Requirements
For proper operation it is important that you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can
accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor or building material suppliers.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors. W116
This gas appliance contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals 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. To reduce the risk from substances in
the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure
this appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the instructions in
this manual. W115
To reduce the risk of fire and the
accumulation of combustion gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas
vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl
space under a building or concealed space
of a building. W045
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use
plastic pipe or flexible plastic pipe to
exhaust the dryer. W041

Exhaust System
IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as
possible.
NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before
installing your new dryer.
Forbest dryingresults,recommendedmaximumlength
of exhaust system is shown below.
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.
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;
no kits required.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory
(Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional
equipment at extra cost.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the airflow at the
bottom of the dryer’s front panel with laundry,
rugs, etc. Blockage will decrease airflow through

Exhaust System Maintenance
The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system
should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if
necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to
two years as required thereafter. The weather hood
should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers
move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that
nothing has been set against them. This maintenance
work should be done by a qualified service person.
Exhausting the dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be
accomplished by installing the 521P3 Flexible Metal
Vent Kit, available as optional equipment at extra cost.
The kit comes in two halves that can be separately
attached to the dryerand wall outlet. Once attached, the
dryer can be slid back into position and the two halves
can be connected from the front.
Dryer Airflow
Efficient dryer operation requires proper dryer airflow.
Proper dryer airflow can be evaluated by measuring the
static pressure.
Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no
greater than that shown in the chart below. (Check with
dryer running and no load.)
NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer
placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet
(61 cm) from the dryer, see illustration below.
Reduced Clearance Elbow
Installing the dryer in shallow closets can be
accomplished by using an Elbow, Part No. 62688,
which is one inch narrower than a standard venting
elbow.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect the electrical service to the dryer
before cleaning. W043
