INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS DRYER

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound
approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing
is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the front lower service panel by
using a
1
" nutdriver to remove the 2 hex-head screws from
4
the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while pulling
the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the unit has its own gas supply opened.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.
3. Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Complete Installation

1. With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first
side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust
the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
3. Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on
the timer due to factory testing):
Close dryer door. Insert coins in slide and press slide in
slowly. (Operating time will accumulate per number of coins
and type of timing cam used.) Select the Whites
and Colors cycle and let the dryer run for at least five minutes.
NOTE:
Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate.
4. Open the dryer door. Check that the inside of the dryer is
warm. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat
inside the dryer, wait for five minutes. Check that all supply
valve controls are in "ON" position and that the electrical cord
is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.
5. Check lint screen for debris and other obstructions.
6. Restart the dryer and allow it to complete the Whites and
Colors cycle to make sure it is working properly.
