The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation: 1. Straight back 2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down) 3. Left (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left) 4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right) 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 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. To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4½ inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways). An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall. To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow.

T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer. 6.The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be disconnected 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). 7.The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
