CONNECT
DRYER TO
EXHAUST
SYSTEM
Secure all joints with clamps or duct
tape. DO NOT use sheet metal
screws or other fastening means
which extend into the duct to attach
exhaust pipe joints. They could
catch lint and reduce the efficiency
of the exhaust system.
IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct
as short as possible.
Be sure old ducts are clean before
installing your new dryer.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is
not in operation, outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather
hood with hinged dampers (obtain
locally).
Weather hood should be installed
at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the
ground. Higher clearances may be
necessary in areas where heavy
snowfall can occur.
No extra system length
consideration is necessary when
exhausting through the roof. Use
MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH
table to calculate system length.
Use a roof cap that provides air
flow equal to weather hood.
Exhaust Directions
Dryer can be exhausted to the
outdoors through the back, right, or
bottom of the dryer. Gas dryers
cannot be vented out the left
side because of the burner
housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready
for rear exhaust. No kits required.
To exhaust dryer through sides or
bottom, install a DK1 Sales
Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit
528P3). Available as optional
equipment at extra cost.
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be four inches
(10.2 cm) in diameter without
obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible
semirigid flexible metal duct is
acceptable.
DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe,
or flexible plastic pipe, because it
contributes to poor drying
performance and collects lint, which
can lead to a fire hazard. To identify
flexible foil or plastic duct, pinch the
coils of the duct between your
fingers. If the coils can be brought
together, do not use the duct.

CONNECT GAS
SUPPLY
L.P./Propane
DO NOT connect dryer to LP./
Propane gas service without
converting the gas valve. An LPK1
Sales Accessory L.R/Propane Gas
Conversion Kit 649P3 must be
installed.
Test for Gas
Leaks
After final gas
connection is made,
turn on manual gas
valve and test all connections in gas
supply piping for gas leaks. Leak
testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
1. Place soap suds on connections.
2. If bubbles appear, a leak is
present. Shut off gas supply
valve.
3. Tighten joint if leak is at factory
fitting.
• If leak is not at factory fitting,
unscrew, apply more joint
compound, and tighten to
correct leak.
4. Retest connection for leak after
tightening or adding joint
compound.
• Retest any connections that
were disturbed.
Connect gas supply to dryer using a new stainless steel flexible connector
or hard pipe (check local codes) according to illustration. Test for leaks and
check burner flame after gas supply is connected. See Checking Burner
Flame section on next page.
• Dryer must be connected to type of gas as shown on nameplate located
in the door recess.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble on LP (propane) Gas, or Teflon tape,
on all pipe threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply line before connecting it to the
dryer. Before tightening the connection, purge remaining air from gas line
to dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is required to prevent gas
valve contamination.
Use new stainless steel flexible connector
only if allowed by local codes (Use Design A.G.A. certified connector)
