As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.” The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.
Single Dryer Venting without Transition Piece The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 20 feet (6.09 meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it. Multiple Dryer Venting with 10-Inch (25.4 cm) Diameter 1,200 cfm (33.
Electrical Information _________________ Grounding Electrical Requirements A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or codes of the country of destination.

Insert the wiring from the two 120 volt 15 amp circuits (one for top tumbler and one for bottom tumbler) into the strain reliefs. Gas Information _______________________ Determine the top pocket electrical connections by checking wire label, which will be marked “top”. ! WARNING ▲ Connect wiring from 120 volt 15 amp circuit to top pocket wiring as described in the following illustration (black to black, white to white and green to chassis ground wire).
The input ratings shown on the data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet (610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact the manufacturer.
Preoperational Test ___________________ Shutdown Instructions ________________ All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation) conditions. If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed: Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule ! WARNING ▲ Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. Adjustments 7 Days After Installation and Every 12 Months Thereafter Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced.
