Installing the dryer.
Exhaust Ducting Length
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
a minimum of every year with normal usage. The
more the dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper
operation.

Exhaust Direction

All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for
rear exhausting. However, on ELECTRIC DRYERS ,
exhausting can be on the right or left side of the
cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On GAS DRYERS ,
exhausting can be on the right side of the cabinet or
the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can
be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, Pub. No.
14-A018, available through your parts distributor.
Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

Gas Supply Requirements

Replace brass connecting pipe that is not plastic-
coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass
MUST be used.
WARNING: Never reuse old flexible connectors.
The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas
leaks and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible
connectors when installing a gas appliance.
Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in
1
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2 The gas supply line should be of 1/2" (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
12
plastic-coated brass.

• DO NOT assemble the duct work with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as collection
points for lint.
• Insulation—Ductwork which runs through an
unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct
should be insulated to reduce condensation and
lint build-up.
