Gas supply: Dryer is equipped for use with
Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas.
When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2 inch IPS.
When acceptable to the gas supplier and local
codes, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used for
lengths under 20 feet. For lengths over 20 feet,
larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint
compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must
be used. If local codes permit, it is recommended
that new flexible metal tubing, design-certified by
CSA, be used for connecting the appliance to the
rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the appliance has 3/8
inch male pipe thread.) An individual manual
shutoff valve must be installed within 6 feet of the
dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, single
phase, 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, electrical supply
is required on a separate 15 or 20 amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Four inch diameter vent is required. Rigid
or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do
Not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet
hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the
exhaust.
