NCORRECT
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the
following
method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is ac-
ceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the
point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start
the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 0.75 inches of
water column.
If the system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches
of water column, the system is acceptable.
If the manometer reading
is higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is too
restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although
vertical orientation
of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain
extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance
of the dryer:
o
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
Venting vertical through
a roof may expose the exhaust system
to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may
cause condensation
and faster accumulation
of lint.
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an
increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every
18 months
with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often
you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting. Howevei;
on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left side of the cabinet
or the bottom
of the dryer. On gas dryers, exhausting can be to the right
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be
accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800,
available through
your parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

system during
any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (:3.45 kPa).

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than
1/2 psig (:3.45 kPa).
LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything
that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54
cm).
INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET
1. A dryer installed in a bedroom,
bathroom,
recess or closet, MUST be
exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet as
the Gas dryer.
3. Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation.
DO NOT install your
dryer in a closet with
a solid door.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air openings are
