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. 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. 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, P/N 131456800, available through your parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit. EXHAUST DUCT LOCATING DIMENSIONS SAME AS OTHER SIDE 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) 5 7/8" (15 cm) 13 1/2" (34 cm) 4 3/8" (11 cm) 3 3/4" (9.5 cm()9.5 cm) GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Replace copper connecting pipe that is not plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST be used. 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 plasticcoated 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). LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER: 1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions. 2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm). INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET 1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, MUST be exhausted outdoors. 2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet as the Gas dryer. 3. Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation. DO NOT install your dryer in a closet with a solid door. 4. A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is acceptable. 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). 4
