For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart,
see your parts distributor.
Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See
"Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" in the
"Location Requirements" sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/2"
(64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21/2" (64 mm)
outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is
required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4" (102 ram) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. Vent collar
\
4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with
a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
5. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent.
Make sure dryer is level.
NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.

Multiple Dryer Venting
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 I/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each
dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to
keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return
air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than
through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least
2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.
The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm)
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent
should be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.
GASSUPPLY CONNECTION
Make Gas Connection
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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 1/4" nutddver to remove the 2 hex-head screws
from 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 shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure
the dryer 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 leaks found.

GAS SUPPLYCONNECTION
Type of Gas
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-
certified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane)
gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made
to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
(5as conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner
base.
Gas Supply Line
Recommended Method
Provide a gas supply line of :1/2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to
dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP
gas must be used. Do not useTEFLON®t tape. With LPgas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually,
LPgas suppliers determine size and materials used in the
system.
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSAInternational, be used for connecting
the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the dryer isprovided with 3/8"
[10 mm] male pipe thread.)
\
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for
gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of
the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The
dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m=).
Alternate Method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm)
approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of
the supply line ismore than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will
be required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must
be used.
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas
line when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
Shut-off valve required
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off
valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should
be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to
shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve
must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation
codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench to ........ _
finish turning legs until diamond marking
is no longer visible. Then fit a covered foot foot
boot over each leg foot.
To protect the floor, use a large piece of cardboard from the
dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer
until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for
electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
3. Install coin slide and coin box
Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up
at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to
manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.)
