WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not install the laundry center
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If the laundry
center is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.
The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6 inches (1.52 cm)
of water column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the
exhaust connects to the dryer. The exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned a minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more
the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system
and vent hood for proper operation.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart
below.

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush
installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct and 1
elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow
down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow
down and 1 elbow right)
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16
cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4½
inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be
done by going below the dryer then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust can be
installed directly through the outside wall. To exhaust to the side or down,
add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct
and a 90° elbow.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) or
in Canada, the current AN/CGA B149.
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (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 plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N. P. T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gage
connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
LOCATION OF YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains or drapes.
3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54
cm).
INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET
1. A laundry center installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet,
MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be
installed in the same closet as the Gas
laundry center.
3. Your laundry center needs the space
around it for proper ventilation.
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY
CENTER IN A CLOSET WITH A SOLID
DOOR.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches
(774.2 square cm) of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of
the door, is required. Air openings
are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered
door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is
acceptable.
5. The following illustrations show minimum clearance dimensions and air
openings for proper operation in a recess or closet installation.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

1. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside
(outdoors, not beneath the mobile
home) using metal ducting that will
not support combustion. Metal
ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm)
in diameter with no obstructions.
Rigid metal duct is preferred.
2. If dryer is exhausted through the
floor and area beneath the mobile
home is enclosed, the exhaust
system MUST terminate outside
the enclosure with the termination
securely fastened to the mobile
home structure.
3. Refer to page 3 for other important venting requirements.
4. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be
made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
5. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction
& Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regulation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-
80) or when such standard is not applicable, with American National
local
Standard for Mobile Homes. In Canada, the CSA Z240 is applicable.
