Heat Check Electric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
Burner Flame Gas Dryers
IMPORTANT: This operation to be conducted by qualified personnel only.
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If this happens, after approximately one minute, igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
IMPORTANT: If igniter is not lit, make sure gas is turned on.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Dryer Exhaust Requirements
Figure 14
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be 10.2 cm (4 inches) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape or pop-rivets.
Make-Up Air Requirements
For proper operation it is important that you locate the dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the home. These devices can be obtained through your building contractor or building material suppliers.
Exhaust System
IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible.
NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.
For best drying results, recommended maximum length of exhaust system is shown in Table 3.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 30.5 cm (12 inches) above the ground. Larger clearances may be necessary for installations where heavy snowfall can occur.
D314I D315I
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

Exhaust System Maintenance
The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as required thereafter. The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against them. This maintenance work should be done by a qualified service person.
Exhausting the dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be accomplished by installing the 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available as optional equipment at extra cost. The kit comes in two halves that can be separately attached to the dryer and wall outlet. Once attached, the dryer can be slid back into position and the two halves can be connected from the front.

Dryer Airflow
Efficient dryer operation requires proper dryer airflow. Proper dryer airflow can be evaluated by measuring the static pressure.
Static pressure in the dryers exhaust duct should be no greater than that shown in the illustration below. (Check with dryer running and no load.)
NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately 61 cm (2 feet) from the dryer. Refer to Figure 17.
