ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - Gas models only
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)
diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood
must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that
may be in the path of the exhaust.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
■
Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
■
Shorten life of dryer.
■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.

Recommended Styles:
Acceptable Style:
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.
Damage to the coupling can result.
A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker and a separate circuit
are recommended.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas. When rigid pipe is used it should be
½" IPS. When acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes,
3
⁄
8
" approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For
lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. An
individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1.
WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS
Determine vent path:
■
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and
turns.
■
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much
room as possible.
■
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - Electric models only
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical
supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit.

The Vent System Charts provide venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn
to the charts.
