Installing Added Security Device
1. Check that power is not supplied to the dryer.
2. Open and remove the service door.
3. Lay the security cone small side down over the oblong hole in
the bottom rear of the meter case assembly.
4. Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand
into the cage nut below the oblong opening.
5. Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a
wrench to tighten until snug.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS DRYER

Make Gas Connection

WARNING
1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
resistant to the action of L.P. gas for gas connections. If
flexible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel by removing the
2 1 ⁄ " hex-head screws from the bottom of the panel. Then lift
4
up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away
from the dryer.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
2. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.
3. Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Complete Installation

1. With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first
side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust
the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
3. Check dryer operation:
Insert coins. Operating time will accumulate per number of
coins. Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle
(not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes.
Dryer will stop when time is used up.
NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When
door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To
restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTART button.
4. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside
the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply
valve controls are in "ON" position and that the electrical cord
is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.
5. If drying time is too long, make sure lint screen is clean.
