installation and servicing.

■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

oor moldings.

■Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer

is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

■For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)

diameter vent is required. Rigid or exible metal exhaust vent

must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood

must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that

may be in the path of the exhaust.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best

drying performance:

■Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied

in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those

specied will:

■Shorten life of dryer.

■Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

Recommended Styles:

Acceptable Style:

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker and a separate circuit

are recommended.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas. When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2" IPS. When

acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8" approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger

tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed

within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

Determine vent path:

■Select route that will provide straightest and most direct

path outdoors.

■Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

■When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room

as possible.

■Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■Use as few 90° turns as possible.
