IMPORTANT: The dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C). B. UNPACKING/SETTING UP Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer. IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times. The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove the skid from the dry

A 40-inches (101.6 cm) for optimum opening of load door. B The maximum thickness of the bulkhead is 4-inches (10.16 cm). C A minimum overhead clearance of 12-inches (30.48 cm) is required, providing no sprinkler is located above the dryer. D The dryer should be positioned 24-inches (60.96 cm) away from the nearest obstruction and 36-inch

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating. The dryer must be installed with pr

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or tumbler hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. CAUTION: This dryer

NOTE: 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 [0.5 mm]) thick.” IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system. Outside Ductwork Protection To protect the outside end of horizontal ductwork fro

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each tumbler exhaust duct area must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.6 inches (1.48 mb) of water column (W.C.). It is suggested that the ductwork from each dryer not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters) with no more than three (3) elbows (excluding dryer connections). If the ductwork exceeds 15 feet (4.57 meters) or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the length and number of

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening. Outside Ductwork Protection To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected fro

The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork. NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork
