1. A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical
supply is required on a separate 15
ampere circuit fused by a time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
.
A 3-prong grounded wall receptacle
(grounded in accordance
with the
National
Electrical
Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-1987, and local codes and
ordinances) is required.
For added
personal
safety, connect
a separate
ground
wire
(No.
12
minimum)
from the green
ground
screw on the rear of the dryer to a
grounded
cold water pipe as shown
in Figure
2. Do not attach to a gas
pipe or hot water pipe.
Grounded
cold water
pipe must
have
metal
continuity
to electrical
ground and
not be interrupted
by plastic,
rubber
or
other
electrical
insulating
connectors
(such as hoses,
fittings,
washers or gaskets,
including
water
meter
or pump).
Any
electrical
insulating
connector
should
be
jumped
as shown
in Figure 3 with
a length
of No. 4 wire
securely
clamped
to bare metal at both ends.

Gas requirements
1. Installation
must meet American
National Standard, National Fuel
Gas CodeANSI Z 223.1--1988
and
local codes and ordinances.
,
The gas supply
line should
be 1/2
inch pipe. A 1/2" to 3/8" reducer
must be used to connect
the dryer
to the supply
line.
3. The gas supply
line MUST
have a
shut-offvalve
preferably
within six
feet of the dryer (Figure
4).
4.
A 1/8 inch NPT plugged
tapping,
accessible
for
test
gauge
connection,
must
be
installed
immediately
upstream
of the gas
supply
connection.
The dryer and
its individual
shut-off valve must be
disconnected
from
the gas supply
piping
system
during
any pressure
testing
(Figure
4) of that system
at
test pressures
in excess
1/2 psig
(3.45
kPa).
The
dryer
must
be
isolated from the gas supply piping
system
by closing
its individual
manual
shutoff
valve
during
any
pressure
testing
of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures
equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
Do not attempt
to alter
gas orifice or adjust burner air shutter.
Natural
gas input
may vary
in some
areas from 700 to 1200 B.T.U. per cubic
foot. If gas orifice or burner air shutter
are
incorrectly
adjusted,
serious
persona!
injury
and/or
fire hazard can
occur.
Your local
gas company
will
know the qualities
of the gas in your
area.
Contact
your
local
servicing
dealer
if burner
adjustment
or orifice
changes
are necessary.
Do not use an open
flame for leak testings. Serious personal
injury and/or a fire hazard
can result if
san open flame is used to test for gas
leaks. Use a soap and water
solution
to test all gas line fittings,
Do not install dryer to
an L.P. gas supply without installing
conversion kit. All dryers shipped out
of the factory
are equipped
with a
Page 3
pressure regulator
and natural
gas
orifice. Using a natural gas orifice with
an L.P. gas supply can result in personal
injury, clothes damage, and/or a fire
hazard.
Have
a
qualified
gas
techniician install a conversion
kit in
dryer before use.
Exhaust requirements
Four Inch Metal Exhaust
Duct is re-
quired.
(Do not use 3-inch
exhaust
duct.)
Metal
flexible
duct
may be
used.
DO
NOT
USE
PLASTIC
FLEXIBLE
DUCT.
For Safety:
• Do not exhaust
dryer into a chimney,
fiarnace cold air duct, attic or'crawl
space,
or any
other
duct used
for
venting.
Accumulated
lint could
become
a fire hazard,
or moisture
could cause damage.
• The: e_haust
system
should
be
cleaned
periodically,
at least every
18 months.
• Flexible
duct
slhould
never
be
installed
concealed
in walls, ceiling
or floor.
Use Duct Tape to seat all joints.
_[I__
Do not use screws or
bolts which can catch lint and cause
blockage in duct.
Exhausting
the dryer
outside
is
rec orrmae, n ded.
A dryer
installed
in a bedroom,
a
bathroo:aa,
or a closet
MUST
be
exhausted
to the outside.
No other fuel-burning
appliance
shall
be installed
in the same closet as the
dryer.
For
Mobile
Home
Exhaust
Requirements
see Page 7, Alternate
Exhaust
Method,;,
for
detailed
instructions.
The ['xhaust Duct should end with
an exhaust hood to prevent exhausted
air returning into dryer. The outlet of
the hood must be at least 12 inches
from the ground or anylhing else that
may be in the path of the exhaust.
A 2-1/2
inch
outlet
Exhaust
Hood
should be used with sholl: systems
only.
This
outlet
creates
greater
backward
pressure
than other ihood types.
Exhaust
Hoods
with
screens
or
magnetic:
latches
should
not be used.
