•Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must

be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint

build-up on pipe walls.

•When exhausting the dryer to the outdoors, the

dryer can be installed with “0” inch clearance at

sides and rear. Clearance of the duct from

combustible construction must be a minimum of

2 inches (5.08 cm).

•For proper operation, it is important that the

dryer has an ample amount of outside make-up

air. The free area of any opening for the

introduction of outside air must be at least 25 in.2

(163 cm2).

•In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct

must be secured to mobile home structure.

•Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under

mobile home.

•Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other

duct, vent, or chimney.

•Dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of

dryer).

•Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces,

such as a wall or ceiling.

•Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration

rates should be equipped with an air exchanger

that can accommodate on demand make-up air

needs in the home. These devices can be obtained

through your building contractor or building

material suppliers.

•Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be

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

measured with manometer placed on exhaust

duct two feet (61 cm) 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).

•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

12 inches (30.5 cm) 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, 1000 Btu/ft3(37.3 MJ/m3) service must

be supplied at minimum 5.0 inch water column

pressure to maximum 10.5 inch water column

pressure.

For proper operation at altitudes above 3000 feet

(915 m) 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

6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryer. An 1/8 in. 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. W316
