• Do not use a metal foil vent.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only rigid or flexible vent shall be used for exhausting.
• Only a 4″ (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.
• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
• Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
• Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

• Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

• Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
• Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
• Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
• The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft (2.4 m).
• An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.
• Exhaust hood must be at least 12″ (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes).
• If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
• Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
• Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
• Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center.
• The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer, or straight out the back of the dryer. See “Product Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

Make-up air:

• Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 square inch [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 B.T.U. [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable.
• Set up common openings so that the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers.
• Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for use of registers or louvers over the openings.
• Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location of exhaust vents exiting the building.

Vent System Length

• Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

Maximum Vent Length

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor. Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” sections. A 4″ (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½” (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½” (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Connect Vent

1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4″ (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer.
   • NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.
3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.
4. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4″ (102 mm) clamp.
5. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a  Manometer.
Minimum: 0.01″ (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6″ (16 mm). For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor. If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section. A 4″ (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½” (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½” (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward.

If the main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on the end of the vent at least 2 ft (610 mm) above the highest part of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2″ (13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be centered in the opening. Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.

Multiple Dryer Venting

• A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
• A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
• Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.
• The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.
• Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
• A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

INSTALLING LEVELING LEGS, COIN SLIDE, AND COIN BOXINSTALLING BOX

The coin slide mechanism, control panel lock and key, and coin box lock and key are not included and are available from usual industry sources. A special coin slide extension must be used on this model and can be purchased from the coin slide distributor

WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard

• Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
• Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs
   • NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to avoid damaging floor covering.
   • Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location.
   • Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with damp cloth to remove any dust.
   • Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
2. Screw in leveling legs
   • Examine leveling legs and find diamond marking. Screw legs into leg holes by hand. Use an adjustable wrench or 1″ (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench to finish turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. Then fit a covered foot boot over each leg foot. For floors with greater slopes, a longer leveling foot (part no. 279810) is available.
   • To protect the floor, use a large piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
   • On some models: The meter case houses the factory-installed coin slide mechanism, service lock and key, and coin box lock and key.
3. Install coin slide and coin box
   • Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up at the back. Install the money-accepting device.
   • (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)
   • Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key in the meter case opening.
   • Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

LEVELING

Leveling your dryer properly reduces excess noise and vibration.

WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard

• Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
• Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip dryer and adjust ft up or down, repeating as necessary.
2. Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all four ft are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side to side. If dryer rocks, adjust leveling ft.
3. If the dryer is not level, turn the levelling ft counterclockwise to lower the dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck the levelness of the dryer and that all four ft are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed.
   • HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up the front of the dryer about 4″ (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support the weight of the dryer.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: After the dryer has been installed and plugged in, the display will show “0 MINUTES.” After the door has been opened and closed, the display will show the vend price. General User Information

• SCROLLING “OUT OF ORDER” MESSAGE, FOLLOWED BY A FAILURE OR DIAGNOSTIC CODE, SHOWING IN DISPLAY – This condition indicates the dryer is inoperative.
• “0 MINUTES” SHOWING IN DISPLAY – This indicates the dryer cannot be operated. Coins dropped or debit inputs during this condition will be stored in escrow but cannot be used until normal operation is restored by opening and closing the door. If a door switch has failed, causing “0 MINUTES” to remain in the display after the door is opened and closed, it must be replaced before normal operation can be restored.
• COLD START (Initial first use) – The dryer is programmed at the factory as follows: $1.50 dry price (30 minutes). 9160 model only: $0 dry price (45 minutes)
• WARM START (after power failure) – A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in progress at the time of the power failure, “RESELECT CYCLE” will flash in the display, indicating the need for a fabric setting button to be pressed to restart the dryer.
• PRICING – After the door is opened and then closed following the completion of a cycle, the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free operation, where the display will flash “SELECT CYCLE”). As coins are dropped or debit inputs arrive, the display will change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.

There are four (4) types of dryer pricing:

• Fixed “Vend” Pricing
  • A dryer setup for “Fixed Cycle” operation can only accept additional time accumulated by increments equal to the length of a complete dry cycle.
  • A maximum of 75 minutes may be purchased; no additional credit is given for coins dropped with 75 minutes in the display.
• Accumulator Pricing
  • If option d is set to d. 00, and the 6 code is set to one coin 1, then accumulator pricing is in effect.
  • Cycle time can be purchased one coin at a time up to the maximum time of 75 minutes.
  • Fixed Cycle With Top Off Pricing (available for use with coin drops or card readers only) A dryer set to offer “Top Off” capability will allow time to be added to an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the number of minutes of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 75 minutes, regardless of the cost required to start the dryer. No credit is given for coins or debit inputs entered when the control is displaying 75 minutes.
• FREE CYCLES – This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When this happens, “SELECT CYCLE” will appear rather than a cycle price. Any cycle started as a free cycle will automatically terminate when the door is opened.
• DEBIT CARD READY – This dryer is debit card ready. It will accept a variety of debit card systems but does NOT come with a debit card reader. Refer to the debit card reader manufacturer for proper dryer setup. When a Generation 2 card reader is installed, the dryer is placed in enhanced debit mode.

In Enhanced Debit Mode, the top off price can be set independently (see VALUE OF COIN 2), and the top-off time is calculated according to the following equation:

In models converted to a Generation 1 debit card system, debit pulses represent the equivalent of one coin (coin 1).
NOTE: Enhanced debit mode cannot be deselected.
