NOT RECOMMENDED
INSTALL MALE FTTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the
charts, the following
method must be used to determine
if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
1.
Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the
dryer
and the point the exhaust
connects
to the dryer.
2.
Set the dryer
timer
and temperature
to air fluff
(cool
down) and start the dryer.
3.
Read the measurement
on the manometer.
4.
The system
back pressure
MUST NOT be higher
than
0.75
inches
of water
column.
If the system
back
pressure
is less than 0.75 inches of water column,
the
system
is acceptable.
If the manometer
reading
is
higher
than 0.75 inches
of water
column,
the system
is
too
restrictive
and
the
installation
is unacceptable.
Although
vertical
orientation
of the
exhaust
system
is
acceptable,
certain extenuating
circumstances
could affect the
performance of the dryer:
Only
the
rigid
metal
duct
work
should
be
used.
Venting vertical through a roof may expose the ex
haust system to down drafts causing an increase in
vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an uninsulat-
ed area may cause condensation
and faster accumu
lation of lint.
Compression
or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every 6 months
with normal usage.
The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should check the
exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of
the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished
by installing
Exhaust
Kit, PiN 131456800,
available
through
your parts
distributor. Follow the instructions
supplied with the kit.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
r ;,'_'t='_,q='HcL']Replace copper connecting
pipe that is not
plasUc-coated.
Stainless steel or plastic-coated
brass MUST
be used.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect
your dryer
to the gas supply
line. The tubing
MUST
be
constructed
of stainless
steel or plastic-coated
brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping,
accessible
for
test gauge
connection,
MUST be installed
immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected
from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
