Dryer requires 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply and 3-prong grounding plug.
Power cord is approximately 69 " long. Do not operate other appliances on the same
circuit when this appliance is operating. Refer to serial plate for specific require-

Electrical Requirements
Natural Gas Pressure, 1000 Btu/ ft 3 (37.3 MJ/m 3 ), service must be supplied at 6.5 +
1.5 inch water column pressure. L.P. (propane) Gas Pressure, 2,500 Btu/ ft 3 (93.1
MJ/m
3
), service must be supplied at 10 + 1.5 inch water column pressure.
NOTE: The dryer and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the equipment shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3,45 kPa).
When connecting to a gas line, an equipment shutoff valve must be installed within
6
' (1.8 m) of the dryer. An 1/8 " N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed.
The gas service to a gas dryer must conform with the local codes and ordances or in
the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA-B149, National Gas

must be installed. DO NOT connect dryer to L.P./Propane Gas Service without
converting the gas valve.
Gas
Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest
route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer exhaust
MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use plas-
tic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches (1.5
cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a manome-
ter placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the dryer.
For the best exhaust system:
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.
• Use 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• Use duct tape on all joints.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
