DIMENSIONS / CLEARANCES

SPACING FOR RECESSED AREA OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:

  • Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
  • Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
  • Closet Ventilation Requirements
  • Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must
    be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.

INSTALLATION SPACING FOR CABINET
For cabinet installation with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top of the cabinet are required.

VENTING THE DRYER

  • If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
  • Venting must conform to local building codes.
  • Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
  • Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside.
  • The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
  • Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could affect drying time.
  • Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.
  • The vent hood should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
  • The total length of flexible metal duct must not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE :
Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. Do not use more than four 90°elbows.

DUCTWORK

ROUTING AND CONNECTING DUCTWORK

NOTE:
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation in the ductwork. Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be purchased separately.

  •  Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ductwork.
  • The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
  • Use as few elbow joints as possible.
  • The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from the dryer.
  • Use duct tape on all duct joints.
  • Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on duct surfaces.
  • Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not covered by the dryer warranty. Dryer failures or service required because of such exhaust systems will not be covered by the dryer warranty.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE (STEAM DRYERS ONLY)
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.

  • As shipped from the factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural gas (NG). It can be converted for use with propane (LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP.
  • A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service.

Electrical Requirements for Gas Models Only

  •  This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
  • This dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the  grounding prong from this plug.

CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS

  • This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.

  • The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT.

  • If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in length, use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire
    (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over 15 ft.(4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary.

  • The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes
