INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for
exhausting.
QOnly a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
QDo not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
QRecommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
QMust be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
QRemove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airow and poor performance.
QDo not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
QThe total length should not exceed 73⁄4ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid
metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and
if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
NOTE: Although each single-load dryer should typically have
an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24" (154 cm) (based
on 1" [6.5 cm] 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 dryers. Coverage area must be increased by 33%
to account for the use of registers or louvers.
Make-up air openings should not be installed near the building
exits for exhaust vents.
4"
(102 mm)
4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent
Elbows:
Q45° elbows provide better airow than 90° elbows.
Clamps:
QUse clamps to seal all joints.
QExhaust 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.

Vent Hoods
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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
owers, rocks, bushes, or snow).
Maximum Vent Length/Vent Connection
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent
used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.
For vent systems not covered by the vent specication chart,
see your parts distributor.
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” sections.
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.
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.
NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.
Vent System Length
3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.
4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with

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 equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit 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 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.

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 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 body of
the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
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. For oors with
greater slopes, a longer leveling foot
(part no. 279810) is available.
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
coin slide mechanism, service lock and key, and coin box lock
and key.
3. 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.)
Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with
lock and key in the meter case opening.
