It is designed-certified by CSA International for L.P. (propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion. When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2 inch IPS. When acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8-inch approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 feet. For lengths over 20 feet, larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. If local codes permit, it is recommended that new flexible metal tubing, design-certified by AGA or CSA, be used for connecting the appliance to the rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the appliance has 3/8-inch male pipe thread.) An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 feet of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, single phase, 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, electrical supply is required on a separate 15 or 20 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. Four-inch diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust. EXHAUST VENTING C.

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns. 2. Determine vent length. The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon: • The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal). • The number of elbows used. • Type of hood. See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use. 3. Determine the number of elbows you will need. IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart. In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid metal or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.
