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.

Recommended Styles:

Acceptable Style:

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.

Damage to the coupling can result.

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.

WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS

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.

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

in “Vent System Charts.”

Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:

■Shorten life of dryer.

■Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.
