Fire Hazard
l
This dryer must be connected to a
regulated gas supply. Failure to do so
could cause high-pressure gas release,
resulting in a fire or explosion.

Have the L.P. gas checked by a qualified
person before installing the dryer. The
L.P. gas supply must not exceed a
pressure of 13” water column.

If local codes permit, it is recommended
that new flexible metal tubing, design-
certified by the American Gas
Association, be used for connecting the
appliance to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe
which extends through the lower rear of the
appliance has 3/8-inch male pipe thread.)
If rigid pipe is used as a gas
supply line, a combination of
pipe fittings must be used to
obtain an in-line connection to the dyer.

Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power supply cord plug.
If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
l
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
l
Do Not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
l
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding path
is adequate.
A 120~volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-or 20-ampere
fused electrical supply is required. Time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided.
Recommended
grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSVNFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local
codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to
have a
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
l
Do Not use metal duct smaller than four
inches in diameter.
l
Do Not Use exhaust hoods with magnetic
latches.
l
Check that exhaust system is not longer
than specified. Exhaust systems longer
than specified will:
- Accumulate lint.
- Shorten the life of the dryer.
- Reduce performance, resulting in longer
drying times and increased energy
usage.
Failure to follow specifications may result in
a fire.
l
Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space,
or any other duct used for venting.
l
Clean the exhaust system every other
year.
l
Do Not install flexible duct in enclosed
walls, ceilings or f loors.
Accumulated lint could result in a fire or
cause moisture damage.
l
Exhaust the dryer outside to prevent
exposure to substances in the gas fuels
and combustion which may be harmful to
your health.
The moisture and lint indoors may cause:
- Lint to gather inside and around the
dryer and be a fuel for fire.
- Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.
- Housecleaning problems and possible
health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in fire damage, property damage,
personal injury or health problems.
Use duct tape

For mobile home installation,
have an outside exhaust. If you exhaust the
dyer through the floor and
