Gas supply requirements

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).

2. The gas supply line should be 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 plastic-coated brass.

4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual

shutoff valve installed in accordance with the

B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code.

5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT. 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).

8. Connections for the gas supply must comply

with the Standard for Connectors for Gas

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid

or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood

which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when

the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,

the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts

and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid

restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12

inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood

and the ground or any other obstruction. Correct !1

incorrect

The following are specific requirements

for proper and safe operation of your

dryer.

If your present system _smade up of plastic duct

or metal foil duct, replace itwith a rigid or semi-

rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is

free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust

outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust

opening and remove any accumulation of lint

around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the

surrounding area.

Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

Install male fittings in correct direction:

CORRECT INCORRECT

In installations where the exhaust system is not

described in the charts, the following method must

be used to determine if the exhaust system is

acceptable:

Connect an inclined or digital manometer

between the dryer and the point the exhaust

connects to the dryer.

Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff

(cool down) and start the dryer.

Read the measurement on the manometer.

The system back pressure MUST NOT be

higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of

water column, the system is too restrictive and

the installation is unacceptable.

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 vertically 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.

Manufactured or mobile home installation

1. Installation MUST conform to current

Manufactured Home Construction & Safety

Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the

Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction

and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard

CAN/CSAZ240 MH.

2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not

beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting

that will not support combustion. Metal ducting

must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no

obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.

3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and

area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,

the exhaust system MUST terminate outside

the enclosure with the termination securely

fastened to the mobile home structure.

4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other

important exhaust venting system requirements.

5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home,

a provision must be made for outside make up

air. This provision is to be not less than twice

the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

Installation Instructions

Electrica installation

The following are specific requirements for proper

and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure

to follow these instructions can create electrical

shock and/or a fire hazard.

Grounding requirements -Emectdc dryer (USA}

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of

a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of

least resistance for electrical current.

2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4

wire power supply cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug

that matches your wiring system, the plug

MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper

wired receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.

3. DO NOT modify the plug you've installed on

this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system; or an

equipment grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to

the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the appliance.
