As shipped from the factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of

water column.

. A qualified service or gas company technician must connect

the dryer to the gas service.

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its

individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing

of the gas supply. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

. Supply line requirements:

Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 rn) of the dryer, in

accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or

Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/s- inch NPT pipe plug must be installed. Failure to do so can result in fire,

explosion, or death

. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2- inch IPS.

If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/s- inch approved tubing

may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 rn). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m).

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

. Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate.

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

. To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas

supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer, Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or

death.

. DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a

noncorrosive leak-detection fluid. Failure to do so can result in

fire, explosion, or death.

. Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply line with

flexible stainless steel connectors. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

. Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do so can result

in fire, explosion, or death.

. DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; any

disassembly requires the attention and tools of an authorized

and qualified service person or company. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
