Installing the Dryer

Step 1: Position and Level the Dryer

Install dryer before washer. This allows room for

attaching exhaust duct.

Select a location with a solid floor. Dryers installed in

residential garages must be elevated 46 cm (18 inches)

above the floor.

No other fuel burning appliance should be installed in

the same closet with the dryer.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area

where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

The dryers needs sufficient clearance and an adequate

air supply for proper operation and ventilation, and for

easier installation and servicing. (Minimum clearances

are shown below).

dryer is level from side to side and front to back. The

dryer must not rock.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer

with a 1/4 inch driver. All four legs must rest firmly on

the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly

distributed. The dryer must not rock.

Figure 3

IMPORTANT: In mobile home installations, gas

dryers MUST be permanently attached to the floor

at the time of installation. Order No. 526P3 Dryer

Installation Kit (available at extra cost) for a

manufactured (mobile) home installation. Follow

the instructions supplied with the kit.

Step 2: Connect Dryer Exhaust System

•DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting. Rigid

metal duct is recommended.

•Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as

possible.

•Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing

your new dryer.

•Use 102 mm (4 inches) diameter rigid or flexible

metal duct.

•The male end of each section of duct must point

away from the dryer.

•Use as few elbows as possible.

•Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints. DO

NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on

exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct

and catch lint.

510953

•Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must

be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint

build-up on pipe walls.

•Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer

installations.

•In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct

must be secured to mobile home structure.

•Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under

mobile home.

•Dryer exhausts 220 cfm for 60 Hertz and 180 cfm

for 50 Hertz (measured at back of dryer).

•DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed

spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

•Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be

greater than 1.5 cm (.6 inches) water column for

60 Hertz or 1.02 cm (.4 inches) water column

pressure (1.0 cm) for 50 Hertz measured with

manometer placed on exhaust duct 61 cm (2 feet)

from dryer (check with dryer running and no

load).

•Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can

be done by installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent

Kit (available as optional equipment at extra

cost).

•Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to

replace the air exhausted by the dryer. The free

area of any opening for outside air must be at

least 260 cm2(40 in.2).

•Energy efficient buildings with low air

infiltration rates should be equipped with an air

exchanger that can accommodate on demand

make-up air needs in the laundry room. These

devices can be obtained through your building

contractor or building material suppliers.

•Do not draw make-up air from a room containing

a gas fired water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair

salon.

•Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void

warranty.

NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the

dryer (obtain locally).

Exhaust Direction

The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the

back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION:

Gas dryers cannot be vented out the left side

because of the burner housing.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.

Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be

accomplished by installing a Directional Exhaust Kit,

528P3, available as optional equipment at extra cost.

Exhaust System

For best drying results, recommended maximum

length of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.

To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,

outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood

with hinged dampers (obtain locally).

NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least

30.5 cm (12 inches) above the ground. Larger

clearances may be necessary for installations where

heavy snowfall can occur.

Step 3: (Gas Dryer Only) Connect Gas

Supply Pipe

1. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with

the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is

equipped at the factory for Natural Gas with a

3/8 inch NPT gas connection.

NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must

conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in

the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the

latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CSA-B149.1, Natural

Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Natural Gas, 37.3 MJ/m3(1000 Btu/ft3) service must

be supplied at minimum 12.7 cm (5.0 inch) water

column pressure to maximum 26.67 cm (10.5 inch)

water column pressure.

For proper operation at altitudes above 760 m

(2500 feet) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must

be reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to

Table 2.

2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas

connection at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you

do not damage the pipe threads when removing

the cap.

3. Connect to gas supply pipe.

NOTE: When connecting to a gas line, an

equipment shut-off valve must be installed within

1.8 m (6 feet) of the dryer. An 1/8 inch NPT pipe

plug must be installed as shown for checking inlet

pressure. Refer to Figure 5.

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or

explosion:

• The dryer must be connected to the type

of gas as shown on nameplate located in

the door recess.

• Use a new flexible stainless steel

connector.

• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P.

(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape,

on all pipe threads.

• Purge air and sediment from gas supply

line before connecting it to the dryer.

Before tightening the connection, purge

remaining air from gas line to dryer until

odor of gas is detected. This step is

required to prevent gas valve

contamination.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas

leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection

fluid.

• Any disassembly requiring the use of

tools must be performed by a suitably

qualified service person.
