All dryers shipped fi'om fl_e factory are set up for
rear exhausting. However, on ELECTRIC D RYERS,
exhausting can be on the right or left side of the
cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On GAS DRYERS,
exhausting can be on the right side of the cabinet or
the bottom of the dUeT. Directional exhausting can
be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, Pub.
No. 14-A018, available through your parts distributor.
Follow the instructions supplied _4th the kit.

V6-]The dryer and its indMdual shutoffvah;e MUST
be disconnected fi'om the gas supply piping
system during a W pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
V_The dryer MUSTbe isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its indMdual manual
shutoffvalve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). 13
