To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:
• The dryer must be connected to the type of gas
as shown on nameplate located in the door re-
cess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P. (Lique-
fied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape, on all pipe
threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply line be-
fore connecting it to the dryer. Before tightening
the connection, purge remaining air from gas line
