EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the damper(s) automatically closes to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your laundry center.
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust
the dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside the exhaust system
and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow
will increase drying times. If your present system is made up of
plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible
metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint
prior to installing laundry center dryer duct.
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some
fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation
of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire
hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to
the outside of the dwelling!
Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothing,draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact
with the exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted
into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
Do not exceed the length of duct pipe or
number of elbows allowed in the” EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS”
chart. Lint can accumulate in the system, plugging the system
and creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust
system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws
or rivets, clogging the exhaust system and creating a fire hazard
as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the laundry
center where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If
the laundry center is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum
of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion, fire or burns.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon
the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust
hood.
The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown
in the chart below.
The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with
rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm]
rigid duct and 1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm]
rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm]
rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right)
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard
4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit
will be positioned about 4½ inches (11.43 cm) away from
the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by going
below the dryer then sideways).
The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.75
inches (1.89 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined
manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.

test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
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 LAUNDRY CENTER
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather
conditions.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains or
drapes.
3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1
inch (2.54 cm).
INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET
1. A laundry center 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 laundry center.

The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe electrical installation of your laundry center.
Failure to follow these instructions can create electrical
shock and/or a fire hazard.
This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result if the laundry center
is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this
manual for proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with this
laundry center. Some extension cords are not designed to
withstand the amounts of electrical current this laundry
center utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/
or fire hazard. Locate the laundry center within reach of the
receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased,
allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-
installation requirements in this manual for the proper power
cord to be purchased.
A U.L. approved strain relief must be
installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached,
the cord can be pulled out of the laundry center and can be
cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical
shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle
with a copper Wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A
chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum
and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected laundry center:
1. The laundry center MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for
electrical current.
2. If your laundry center is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an
appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
6
For a permanently connected laundry center:
The laundry center 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 appliance.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.

approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive
action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.
c. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are needed for your laundry center,
contact the source where you purchased your laundry
center.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Destroy the carton, plastic bags, and
metal band after the laundry center is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in a
garbage container or make materials inaccessible to
children.

On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the
burner does not light within 45 seconds the first
time the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will
shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the timer
to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before making
another attempt to light.
