and the responsibility of the person making the conversion and shall be made by a QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN ONLY. USE ONLY THE CONVERSION KIT SPECIFIED IN THE PARTS CATALOG
FOR THE MODEL NUMBER OF THE DRYER BEING CONVERTED.
IMPORTANT
This kit was designed to be used with bottled gas (tanks). The gas line must be equipped with •
a gas pressure regulator that provides gas between 8 inches (20 cm) water column maximum
and 11 inches (28 cm) water column minimum at the connection to the dryer.
This kit is approved for use on dryers manufactured on or after July 1, 2008, having burners •
with a gas valve showing part no. 13118070 or 145493-000.
If installing this conversion kit on valve no. 13118070, input rating will be 22,000 BTU’s/hour. If •
installing this conversion kit on valve no. 145493-000, input rating will be 20,000 BTU’s/hour.
BTU rating refers to heat input at sea level. For operation at elevations above 2,000 feet, the •
BTU input rating should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
Observe all local codes and American National Standard National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z •
223.1-1988. Contact the tank gas dealer for any questions about installation.
THE CONVERSION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS •

WARNING
DO NOT TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME!
Fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or
property damage can result from testing a gas
line for leaks with an open fl ame.
ADJUSTING BURNER FLAME
Install front panel, console, and top panel. 1.
Plug in dryer and operate in heat cycle.
NOTE
Before the burner will light, the gas line must
bleed itself of air. If the burner does not light
within 45 seconds of being started, the safety
switch will shut the burner off. If this happens,
press the cancel button and wait 5 minutes
before making another attempt to operate the
dryer.
Place a mirror on the fl oor under the front 2.
panel to observe fl ame through the view port
in the base. You may need to extend the
front legs to view the fl ame in the mirror.
The fl ame should be blue in color. If it is yel-3.
low, repeat the steps to gain access to the
burner, adjust the shutter, reassemble and
observe the fl ame again.
Repeat the above steps until the sputtering 4.
or yellow fl ame disappears.
CHECKING MANIFOLD PRESSURE
