Venting Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
■The dryer vent must not be exhausted into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building.
■Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting.
■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■4" (102 mm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■Use clamps to seal all joints. The duct shall not be assembled
with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
■The total length of flexible metal vent shall not exceed 73⁄4ft
(2.4 m).
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home or business.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks, or bushes).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or straight out the
back of the dryer.
Vent System ength
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of
vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.
For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart,
see your parts distributor.
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom,
bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air
for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation
Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21⁄2" (64 mm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21⁄2" (64 mm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Multiple Dryer Venting
■A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
■Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your dealer and should be installed in the vent of each dryer
to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and
to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent.
Unobstructed 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.
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 loads being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.
If an exhaust hood cannot be used:
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the
roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on
the end of the vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the highest part
of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1⁄2" (13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent
should be centered in the opening.
Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SETUP
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Disc arge (ESD)
Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage
or weaken the electronic control assembly. The new control
assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
■Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green
ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
-OR-
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point
or unpainted metal in the appliance.
■Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-
static bag to a green ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance.
■Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle
electronic control assembly by edges only.
■When repackaging failed electronic control assembly in anti-
static bag, observe above instructions.
GENERAL USER INFORMATION
Blank display
This condition indicates the appliance is inoperative. Enter set-up
mode to view diagnostic code.
‘0 Minutes’ showing in display
This condition indicates the appliance cannot be operated. Coins
dropped or debit inputs during this condition will be stored in escrow
but cannot be used until normal operation is restored by opening
and closing the door. If a door switch fails, it must be replaced before
normal operation can be restored.
Cold Start (initial first use)
Appliance is programmed at the factory as follows:
■5 minutes dry time/quarter (coin 1).
■$1.50 dry price (fixed cycle with top off - PD Models).
■$0.00 dry price (fixed cycle - PR Models).
Warm Start (after power failure)
A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in progress
at the time of the power failure, ‘RESELECT CYCLE’ will flash
in the display. This is to indicate the need for a fabric setting
key pad to be pressed to restart dryer.
Pricing
After the door is opened following the completion of a cycle, the
display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free operation). As
coins or debit inputs arrive, the display will change to lead the user
through the initiation of a cycle.
There are four (4) types of pricing:
Fixed ‘Vend’ Pricing
A dryer set up for ‘Fixed Cycle’ operation can only accept additional
time accumulated by increments equal to the length of a complete
dry cycle. A maximum of 99 minutes may be purchased; no
additional credit is given when 99 minutes is in the display.
Accumulator Pricing
If the price is set to one coin 1, then accumulator mode is in effect.
Cycle time can be purchased one coin at a time (PD models) up to
the maximum time of 99 minutes. Stacked PD machines will credit
all money to a cycle with a single button press while in accumulator
pricing.
Fixed Cycle With Top Off Pricing
A dryer set to offer ‘Top Off’ capability will allow time to be added to
an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the number of minutes
of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 99 minutes, regardless of the
cost required to start the machine. No credit is given for coins or
debit inputs entered when the control is displaying 99 minutes. PR
Models: In Enhanced Debit Mode, the top off price can be set
independently. (See VALUE OF COIN 2), and the top off time is
calculated according to the following equation:
top off price =top off time
full cycle price full cycle length
Penny increment offset is not applied to top off purchases.
Free Cycles
This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When this
happens ‘SELECT CYCLE’ will appear rather than a cycle price.
Debit Card Ready
This appliance is debit card ‘cable’ ready. It will accept a variety of
debit card systems; but, does NOT come with a debit card reader.
Refer to the debit card reader manufacturer for proper machine
set-up. In models converted to a eneration 1 debit card system,
debit pulses represent the equivalent of one coin (coin 1).
