This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The information in these instructions must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or death. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.

THE CONVERSION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CSA-B149.1 INSTALLATION CODE.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• Disconnect electric power to the dryer before servicing.

• Close equipment shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.

• Never start the dryer with any guards/panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that

the dryer is properly grounded.

WARNING

Important Note:

For proper operation at elevations above 4500 feet (1370 m) one of the following orifice sizes must be used to ensure complete combustion. These parts are not included in standard kits. See Table below for proper orifice size.

• When converting the dryer gas valve to L.P. gas, be sure the incoming gas supply line is equipped with a

pressure regulator (located ahead of the dryer) that will maintain the gas supply to the dryer at 10 ± 1.5 inches (25.4 ± 3.81 cm) water column pressure. Remove pressure tap pipe plug and check gas pressure by connecting a “U” tube manometer (or similar pressure gauge) to the pressure tap.

7. Turn the burner orifice spud out of gas valve and install No. 40097301 L.P. Burner Orifice Spud (metal stamped 1.45 mm). Torque new burner orifice spud to 30 inch-pounds (3.4 N-m).

8. Reinstall burner tube, tighten hex head screw firmly and reconnect igniter leads.

9. Remove the vent screw, and install No. 40097101 Block-Open Plug.

10. Install No. 40096701 “Valve Converted to L.P. Gas” Sticker to top side of gas valve, so it covers the gas valve part number.

11. In Canada, early models (with access door) do not need to use the two 40096602 L.P. Gas Stickers. Sign and date each of the two No. 40096602 L.P. Gas Stickers. Install one of the 40096602 L.P. Gas Stickers over the top three lines of the old sticker on rear of cabinet, then place the second sticker over the top three lines of the old sticker located on backside of access door or lower access panel.
