Electrical: A 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit.

Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (10.16 cm) diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible heavy metal exhaust vent must be used. The total length of flexible metal vent should not exceed 7-3/4 ft. (2.4 m). Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion.

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting your gas company.

REQUIREMENTS

1/2" IPS pipe is recommended. 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable

for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a

different size adapter fitting. If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP

compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe.

NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®tape.*

Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.

This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
