xhaust 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.

NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside the 

dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn  

to the chart.

 

■

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.

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

: 

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 1/2" 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. 

 

 

■

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.
