This dryer has been manufactured for use with natural (city) gas.
Installation of this conversion kit converts the dryer for use with
propane gas with manifold pressure of 10½" water column and
supply pressure between 10" and 11" water column. If this dryer
is converted for use with propane gas by means of this kit, the
input rating will be 135,000 BTU’s per hour, for altitudes up to
2,000 feet. For installations above 2,000 feet, contact a qualified
service agency for derating instructions.

(P/N WFR114132) to the gas control as shown in Figure 2.
13. Attach the small round LP label (provided in the White
Rodgers Conversion Kit Packet # 92-0737 included in this kit)
to the top of the regulator cover screw.
