Supply line requirements:
Provide a rigid gas supply line to the dryer location. It should be minimum 12.5 mm (1/2") ID. When acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 10 mm (3/8") ID rigid supply line may be used for lengths under 6.1 m (20').
Gas connection to the dryer itself should be made by means of a flexible gas hose suitable for the appliance and gas category in accordance with national installation regulations. If in doubt, contact the gas supplier. It should be minimum 10 mm (3/8") ID. A means of restraint should be used between the appliance and the wall to prevent straining of the rigid gas supply when the appliance is moved. An appropriate length of chain and a wall hook is recommended.
The dryer gas inlet connection is a 10 mm (3/8") NPT thread. An adapter is supplied for conversion to standard
Check for leaks by using an approved noncorrosive leak- detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found. A pressure measurement tapping is provided on the gas valve within the dryer, accessible after removal of the lower front panel.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system.
Venting Requirements
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
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.
■The dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building, or any other vent used for venting.
■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
■10 cm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.
■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.
Exhaust hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12") from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes).
