installing your dryer
4. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the ductwork from your dryer
to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped.
Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
Tip for tight installations: install a section of exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place.
Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover ventilation slots at the back of the
unit in the dryer cabinet.
5. Review Electrical Requirements section.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the
terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8" (1cm) deep well socket.
6. Review Gas Requirements section.
Remove the pipe thread protective cap.
Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded connections.
Pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
Connect the gas supply to your dryer.
An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4" (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to
the 3/8" (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer.
Securely tighten the gas line fitting over threads.
Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution.
If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
