The exhaustductshould end withan exhaust hoodwith a swingout damperto prevent backdraftsand entry
of wildlife. NEVERuse an exhausthood with a magneticdamper. The hood should haveat least 12inches
of clearancebetweenthe bottom of the hood andthe groundor otherobstruction. The hoodopeningshould

If exhaustductworkmustrunthrough an unheatedarea,the duct shouldbe insulatedand slope slightlydown

If an existingexhaust systemis to be used withyour dryer(s) you must besure:
• The exhaustsystemmeetsall local,stateand nationalcodes.
• That plasticflexibleduct is not used.
• Tocompletelyinspectand cleanall lint accumulatingfrom the interiorof the duct.
• The ductis not kinkedor crushed.
• The exhaust hooddamperopens andcloses freely.
Inspectand cleanthe interiorof the exhaust systemat leasttwice a year. Disconnectelectricservice priorto
cleaning. Check gasline on gasdryers anytimethe dryer is moved.
Frequentlycheckto be sure the exhaust hooddamper opensand closesfreely.
WASHER REQUIREMENTS
Waterpressureof 20to 120 p.s.i,is requiredto correctlyfill the washerto the proper levels.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommendedheightof the stand pipe is 36 inches. Ifthe stand pipeis less than 36 incheshigh,the drain
hoseshould be routedthroughthe clipto raisethe hoseto the proper height. Stand pipe mustbe large
enoughto acceptthe outsidediameterof the drain hose.
Without the 36 inches high elevation, water may run out of the washer prematurely. Shouldthe washer
fill and drain atthe sametime could indicatethat the drain hosehas notbeen elevatedto the proper height.
Thedrain hoseis attachedat the factory.
FLOORING
For bestperformancethe washer mustbe installedon a solidly constructedfloor. Woodfloors mayneedto
be reinforcedto minimizevibration and/or unbalancedload situations. Carpeting and softtile surfaces are
contributingfactorsin vibration and/ortendency for awasher to moveslightly during the spin cycle. Never
installthe washer on a platform or weak supportedstructure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommendedthe washer never be installedin areaswherewater mayfreeze since the washer will
always maintainsome waterin the water valve, pump and hoseareas. This can cause damageto belts,
pump, hosesand othercomponents. Operatingtemperatureshould be above60°F.

GAS REQUIREMENTS
Useonly Naturalor LP (liquidpropane)gases.
THE INSTALLATIONMUSTCONFORMWITHLOCALCODES,OR IN THEABSENCEOF LOCALCODES,
WITHTHE NATIONALFUELGAS CODEANSI/Z223.1,LATESTREVISION(FORTHE UNITEDSTATES),
OR WITHTHE CAN/CGA-B149INSTALLATIONCODES(FOR CANADA).
A gas dryer is equippedwith a burner orifice foroperationon NATURALgas. If the dryer is to be operated
on LPgas, it mustbe convertedfor safe and proper performanceand mustbe converted by a
qualifiedservice technician. Conversionkits from NATURALto LP,or LP to NATURALareavailable
through your localdealer (seeAccessories). Ifother conversionsarerequired,checkwith the localgas utility
for specific informationconcerningconversionrequirements.
Eachdryerwill providean input of 22,000 B.T.U.per hour.
A 1/2inchgas supplylineis recommendedand mustbe reducedto connectto the 3/8 inchgasline onthe
dryer.
The internalgas shut-offisaccessedby removingthe accesspanelon the dryer. The shut-offispositioned
for easy accessnearthe gas valve.
The NationalFuelGas Code requiresthat an accessible,approvedmanualgasshut offvalve be installed
within 6feet of the dryer.
Additionally,a 1/8 inch N.P.T.(NationalPipeThread) pluggedtapping, accessiblefor test gaugeconnection,
mustbe installedimmediatelyupstreamof the gas supplyconnectionto the dryer.
Thedryermustbe disconnectedfromthegas supplypipingsystemduringanypressuretestingofthesystem.
DO NOT re-useold flexible metalgasline. Flexiblegasline mustbe design certifiedbyAmericanGas
Association(CGAin Canada). NOTE: Any pipejoint compoundusedmustbe resistantto the actionof any
liquefiedpetroleumgas.
NOTE: Asa courtesy,mostlocal gas utilitieswill inspecta gas applianceinstallation.
