[] Installed in a confined area:
If the dryer is installed in a confined area such as a bathroom
or closet, provision must be made for enough air for
combustion and ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances or refer to the "Recessed Area and Closet
Installation Instructions" in the "Location Requirements"
section.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8"NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge
testing, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the dryer.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test
pressures in excess of 1/,psig.
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, wahl, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
[] Do not instal[ flexible metal vent in enclosed wails, ceilings or
floors.
[] 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal vent and cIamps must be used.
[] Use clamps to seal al[ 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 foiI 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 meta! 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 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes).
