Installation Requirements

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create

excessive drying times and ﬁ re hazards.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂ exible plastic

or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting

materials are known to collapse, be easily

crushed and trap lint. These conditions will

obstruct clothes dryer airﬂ ow and increase the

risk of ﬁ re.

Exhaust system requirements

If your present system is made up of plastic duct

or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-

rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is

free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid

or ﬂ exible metal duct and approved vent hood

which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when

the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,

the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts

and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid

restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12

inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood

and the ground or any other obstruction.

Correct Incorrect

The following are speciﬁ c requirements

for proper and safe operation of your

dryer.

Gas supply requirements

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when

subjected to natural gas, causing gas leaks.

Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-

coated brass piping for gas supply.

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 1/2 inch (1.27

cm) pipe.

3. If codes allow, ﬂ exible 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).

8. Connections for the gas supply must comply

with the Standard for Connectors for Gas

Appliances, ANSI Z21.24.

Installation Requirements

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH”

charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the

exhaust system. Plugging the system could

create a ﬁ re hazard, as well as increase drying

times.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a

ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed

space of a building. A clothes dryer produces

combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted

outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area

of the home can create a health and ﬁ re hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust

outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust

opening and remove any accumulation of lint

around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the

surrounding area.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the

next page.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by

installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly

to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are

available through your local parts distributor or

hardware store.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for •

example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper)

to come in contact with exhaust system. The

dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney,

a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a

building which can accumulate lint, resulting in

a ﬁ re hazard.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent •

system, or use any screws, rivets or other

fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble

the exhaust system. Lint can become caught

in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging

the duct work and creating a ﬁ re hazard as well

as increasing drying times. Use an approved

vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and

seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct

pipe ﬁ ttings MUST be installed downstream

with the ﬂ ow of air.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install ﬂ exible plastic or ﬂ exible foil •

venting material.

If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 •

ft. (2.4 m) duct length.

Installation Requirements

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other

ﬂ ammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is

installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18

inches (45.7 cm) above the ﬂ oor. Failure to do so

can result in death, explosion, ﬁ re or burns.

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:

Exhaust system requirements, continued

CORRECT

INCORRECT

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 ﬂ uff

(cool down) and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be

higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch 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 vertically through a roof may expose •

the exhaust system to down drafts causing an

increase in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through an •

uninsulated area may cause condensation and

faster accumulation 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 18 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.

Manufactured or mobile home installation

Installation MUST conform to current 1.

opening and closing. Do not block access to the

gas shutoff valve.

Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or 2.

approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8

inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the

dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to

0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an

approved thread sealer that is resistant to the

corrosive action of liqueﬁ ed gases on all pipe

connections.

Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to 3.

allow gas to ﬂ ow through the pipe. Wait a few

minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

IMPORTANT
