crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
@ Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer
location.
@ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airflow and poor performance.
@ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
@ The total length should not exceed 7°/ ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the systern and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid
metal or flexible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and
if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
Elbows:
@ 45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Clamps:
@ Use clamps to seal all joints.
@ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into interior
of duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
@ Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,
carpets, etc.
@ Housecleaning problems and health problems.

“Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the
“Location Requirements” sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/2"
(64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2!" (64 mm)
outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is
required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer.

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than
through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least
2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.
The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm)
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
*Minimum clearance above
any accumulation of snow,
ice, or debris such as leaves
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 |/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each
dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to
keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return
air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
Ls

SS ct
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent
should be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.

A WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal
tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty
knife to press on the toe panel locks located near the two
ends of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to
open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer has its own gas supply opened.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show
a leak. Correct any leaks found.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Type of Gas
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-
certified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane}
gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made
to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner
base.
Gas Supply Line
Recommended Method
Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to
dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®T tape. With LP gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually,
LP gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the
system.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for
gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of
the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above}. The
dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m’).
Aiternate Method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm)
approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will
be required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must
be used.
Shut-off valve required
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off
valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANS! Z223.1. This valve should
be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to
shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve
must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation
codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting
the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8"
[10 mm] male pipe thread.)
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas
line when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving
to avoid damaging floor covering.
Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location.
Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a
damp cloth to remove any dust.
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of
the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
INSTALLING LEVELING LEGS
2. Screw in leveling legs
Examine leveling legs and find diamond
marking. Screw legs into leg holes by
hand. Use an adjustable wrench or
1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench
to finish turning legs until diamond foot
marking is no longer visible. Then fit
a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To avoid damage to the floor, use a large piece of cardboard
from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide
the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough
room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust
vent.
