INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS DRYER

Install Leveling Legs

Connect Vent

 

NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to avoid damaging floor covering.

1.Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location.

2.Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3.Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

4.With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking. That’s how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole.

5.Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1" (25 mm) wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark. Then fit a protective foot boot over each foot.

6.Now stand the dryer up.

7.Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

Make Gas Connection

1.Remove red cap from gas pipe.

2.Connect gas supply to dryer. If the flexible gas hose has 3/8" BSP thread, use the supplied conversion thread adapter. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of L.P.gas for gas connections.

If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife to press on the 2 toe panel locks located at the top of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

3.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

4.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

1.Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 102 mm (4") clamp.

2.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3.Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Complete Installation

1.With dryer in final position place level on top of the dryer, first side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

This dryer must be earthed.

Securely tighten all electrical connections.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electric shock.

2.Plug into an earthed outlet.

3.Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory testing).

Insert coins in slide and press slide in slowly. (Operating time will accumulate per number of coins and type of timing cam used.) Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes.

Dryer will stop when time is used up.

NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTARTbutton.

4.If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply valve controls are in “ON” position and that the electrical cord is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.
