PRE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

NOTE
Use of 90° quick-
turn elbow required
to meet minimum
installation depth.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the dryer where gasoline
or other fl ammables are kept or stored.
If the dryer is installed in a garage, it
must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the fl oor. Failure to do so can result
in death, explosion, fi re or burns.
In installations where the exhaust system is
not described in the charts, the following
method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital
manometer between the dryer and the
point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air fl uff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the
manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST
NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 1.0 inch of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer
reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water
column, the system is too restrictive
and the installation is unacceptable.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
Correct
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could aff ect the performance
of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be
used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may
expose the exhaust system to down drafts
causing an increase in vent restriction.
Incorrect
• 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 and that it is free of
obstructions.
Manufactured or mobile
home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-
80 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety
for Mobile Homes, Title 24, HUD Part
280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. 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.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the fl oor
and area beneath the mobile home
is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with
the termination securely fastened to a
non-combustible portion of the mobile
home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this
manual for other important exhaust
venting system requirements.
5. 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.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer
or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to
the fl oor with approved Mobile Home
Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
