operate correctly if dryer is not level.

■It is important to make sure the room has an adequate air

supply for drying operation. The operation of this appliance

may affect the operation of other gas appliances which take

their air supply for safe combustion from the same room. If in

doubt consult the appliance manufacturers.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 7ºC (45ºF). At

lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an

automatic cycle.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will

be exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,

installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the

same closet as a dryer.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

■The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed space of a building.

■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■Do not install flexible non-metal vent.

■Do not install metal vent that is smaller than 10 cm (4") in

diameter.

■Do not install flexible vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

■10 cm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

■Use 10 cm (4") 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.

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, etc.).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length

of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with

lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or

flexible metal vent.

Back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed

15.2 mm (0.6") in water column measured with an incline

manometer at the point that exhaust vent connects to dryer.

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.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect

indoors, which may result in:

■Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,

wallpaper, carpets, etc.

■Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Plan Vent System

Route the Vent

The exhaust outlet is located at the center of the rear of the dryer.

The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right or straight

out the back of the dryer.

The design of the flue system should ensure that any condensate

formed when operating the appliance from cold, is either retained

and subsequently evaporated or discharged. Following these

installation instructions should adequately meet this requirement.

Vent System Length

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest

number of elbows and turns. Avoid making 90° turns. When

using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as

possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

2. Determine vent length.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

■The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).

■The number of elbows used.

■Type of hood.

Recommended hood styles are shown here.

Exhaust Air Flow

A. Better

B. Good

A. Standard rear offset exhaust installation

B. Left or right side exhaust installation

C. Bottom exhaust installation

A. Box hood style

B. Louvered hood style

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type

for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

■Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

■Shorten the life of the dryer.

■Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

3. Determine the number of elbows needed.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent

Length Chart.

The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent

length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will

need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood

that you will use.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one

90º turn to the chart.

The maximum length using a 5.1 cm x 15.2 cm (2" x 6")

rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 6.4 cm (2-1/2") exhaust

hood is 2.4 m (8 ft.).

For exhaust systems not covered by exhaust vent length charts

(such as multiple unit hookups, plenums, and power-assist fans),

see Service Manual, Part No. 603197. (To purchase the Service

Manual, contact your local authorised service company).
