Installing the dryer.
Safety Instructions
Exhaust Ducting Length
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4″ dampered wall cap in regard to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.
•DO NOT assemble the duct work with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as collection points for lint.
•Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint

Installation Instructions
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting. However, on ELECTRIC DRYERS, exhausting can be on the right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On GAS DRYERS, exhausting can be on the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, Pub. No.

WARNING: Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
The gas supply line should be of 1/2″ (1.27 cm) rigid pipe.
If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be constructed of stainless steel or

The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
A 1/8″ (0.32 cm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
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).
