GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
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.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
12" min.
(305 mm)*
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/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 (air supply) equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in
the room.
Back-draft dampers are 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.
Although usually each single-load dryer should have an
unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in.2(154 cm2) (based
on 1 in.2[6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up
air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so
the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep
in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to
account for the use of registers or louvers over the openings.
Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the
location where exhaust vents exit the building.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airow. 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 uid 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.

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-
certied by CSA International for LP (propane and butane)
gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made
to convert dryer from gas specied on serial/rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.
Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed near gas valve
burner base.
Type of Gas
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
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®† 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/m2).
Alternate 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, ANSI 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.
Gas Supply Line
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new exible stainless steel gas line,
design-certied 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 exible stainless steel gas
line when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe ttings
to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

INSTALLING LEVELING LEGS, COIN SLIDE,
AND COIN BOX
1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving
to avoid damaging oor 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 oor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of
the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
1. Install coin slide and coin box
Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up
at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)
For dryers using coin slides, use the adapter kit supplied with
the dryer.
Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with
lock and key in the meter case opening.
Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Install added security device
Check that power is not supplied to the dryer.
Open and remove the service door.
Insert the narrow part of the security cone into the oblong hole
in the bottom rear of the meter case assembly.
Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand
into the cage nut below the oblong hole.
Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a
wrench to tighten until snug.

2. Screw in leveling legs
Examine leveling legs and nd diamond
marking. Screw legs into leg holes by
hand. Use an adjustable wrench or
1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench
to nish turning legs until diamond
marking is no longer visible. Then t
a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To protect the oor, 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 nal location. Leave enough room for
electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

On some models: The meter case houses the factory-installed
accumulator timer with actuating arm or service switch.
The factory-installed timer is set to provide 45 minutes (4 pins)
of drying time when activated by the coin slide. Timer cams
for 30-minute (6 pins) and 60-minute (3 pins) drying times are
included in the parts bag.
The coin slide mechanism, service door lock and key, and coin
box lock and key may not be included but are available from
the usual industry sources.
