PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE
DRYER. THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
FOR GAS DRYERS THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE
ANSI Z223.1, LATEST REVISION. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS SHOULD BE REFERRED TO
THE LOCAL GAS UTILITY.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED DRYERS TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.
LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS
The appliance should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the dryer, and sufficient room
behind the dryer for the exhaust system.
The dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the left side, use an accessory exhaust kit
available from your dealer. Instructions are included with the kit.
When installing the dryer the following minimum clearances to combustibles apply; clearance to wall and
sides – 0 inches. Top – 0 inches with outside exhaust; rear – 0 inches with outside exhaust, 6 inches with
inside exhaust. If an inside exhaust is used
(not recommended)
8 inches clearance must be maintained
above top.
It is important to make sure the room has adequate make-up air. The area where the dryer is located must not
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air. There must be a minimum of 36 square inches of unobstructed
space surrounding the dryer.
For a gas dryer, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to insure adequate air for
combustion and proper operation of the dryer.
THE DRYER
MUST NOT
BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO
WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER
PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF LINT.
EXHAUSTING
WARNING –
The dryer
must
be
exhausted to the
outside to reduce the
risk of fire.
WARNING –
Plastic or nonmetal flexible
duct presents a potential
fire hazard.
NEVER USE PLASTIC
OR NONMETAL
FLEXIBLE DUCT.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE USE A MINIMUM OF 4-INCH DIAMETER RIGID ALUMINUM OR RIGID
GALVANIZED STEEL DUCT. Ducts larger than 4 inches in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly. If flexible metal duct must be used, the type with a stiff sheet
metal wall is preferred.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside is
mandatory to prevent large amounts of
moisture and lint from being blown into
the room.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, nonmetal or
combustible, replace it with metal. Use only metal
exhaust duct that will not support combustion to
insure the containment of exhaust air, heat and lint.
