Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect
the performance of the dryer:
•
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
•
Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
•
Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster accumulation
of lint.
•
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every 18 months 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
to the right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the
dryer. On gas dryers, exhausting can be to the right side of
the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional
exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit,
P/N 131456800, available through your parts distributor.
Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

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 gauge connection, MUST be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to
the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated 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).
LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather
conditions.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains,
drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope
of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET
1. A dryer 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 dryer.
3. Your dryer needs the space around it for proper
ventilation.
DO NOT install your dryer 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.
