in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to
account for the use of registers or louvers over the openings.
Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the
location where exhaust vents exit the building.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid 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.
NOTE: For more dryer venting information, please refer to
Whirlpool document W10100920.

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-
certied by CSA International for LP (propane and butane)
gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made
to convert dryer from gas specied on serial/rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.
Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed near gas valve
burner base.
Type of Gas
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
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 use TEFLON
®†
tape. With LP gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1⁄2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP
gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" 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
2
). The expected pressures for the
gas supply are listed in inches of water in the table below:
Natural Gas LP Gas
Minimum
5.2" (132.1 mm) 8.0" (203.2 mm)
Maximum
10.5" (266.7 mm) 13.0" (330.2 mm)
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 is more 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.
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.
Gas Supply Line
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector
It is recommended that a new exible stainless steel gas line,
design-certied by CSA International, be used for connecting
the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3⁄8" male
pipe thread.)
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the exible stainless steel gas
line when moving the dryer.
Rigid Pipe Connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe ttings
to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving
to avoid damaging oor covering.
Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location.
Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a
damp cloth to remove any dust.
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place
them on the oor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of
the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
1. 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.)
For dryers using coin slides, use the adapter kit supplied with
the dryer.
Install the meter case service door. Put the coin box with lock
and key in the meter case opening.
Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Install added security device
Check that power is not supplied to the dryer.
Open and remove the service door.
Insert the narrow part of the security cone into the oblong hole
in the bottom rear of the meter case assembly.
Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand
into the cage nut below the oblong hole.
Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a
wrench to tighten until snug.
