GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The power supply cord must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equip-
ment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative or personnel if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the
power supply cord; if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm)
water column.
Examples of a qualified person include licensed
heating personnel, authorized gas company
personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
• Make certain that this dryer is equipped with the
correct burner for the particular gas in the facility. This
information is found on the rating plate in the door
well. If this information does not agree with the type of
gas available, contact your local Sears store or Sears
Service Center.
• The design of this dryer has been certified by the
American Gas Association for use at altitudes up to
10,000 feet above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indi-
cated on the model/serial number plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when dryer is operated
up to this level.
• When installed above 10,000 feet, a four percent (4%)
reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the
model/serial number plate is required for each 1,000
foot increase in elevation. For assistance when
converting to other gas types and/or installing above
10,000 feet elevation contact your local service
company.
• Connect exhaust vent to dryer before gas supply is
connected. (see the "Exhaust requirements" section.)
• Provide a gas supply line of ½ in gas pipe to the
machine location. For lengths over 20 ft, larger tubing
should be used. If local codes permit, use flexible
stainless steel tubing (Design Certified by the
American Gas Association) to connect your dryer to
the gas supply line.
• The gas supply line should be equipped with a shut-off
valve. This valve should be located in the same room
as the dryer and in a location that allows ease of
opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off
valve.
• Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of L.R gas
must be used. Do not use Teflon tape.
• A W-inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connection, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that
system.
NOTES:
• Do not connect this dryer to any type of gas other than
natural gas, without the appropriate conversion kit.
Conversion of dryer, installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or
the gas supplier.
• Installation of the gas supply lines, the fuel conversion
kit, if required, and the connection of the gas dryer to
the supply, must only be carried out by a fully qualified
and licensed gas installer. Any change to the burner
must also be made by a qualified installer
