WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.

Authorised gas company personnel and authorised service
personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Gas type
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information is
located on the rating plate located on the back splash. If this information does not agree with
the type of gas available in your home, contact your local Fisher & Paykel supplier or service
center.
Natural Gas
This dryer is supplied ready for use with Natural Gas.
It is design certified by UL International for LP (Propane or Butane) Gases with the appropriate
conversion.
LP Gas conversion
If the dryer is to be operated on LP (Liquid Propane or Butane) Gas, the dryer must be converted.
To do so, use only the approved Fisher & Paykel conversion kit listed in Accessories on page 4.
Do not use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
The dryer must be converted for safe and proper performance by qualified service or installation
personel.
Conversion kits for Natural and LP Gas are available from your local Fisher & Paykel Dealer (see
Accessories page 4). If other conversions are required, check with your local gas utility for specific
information concerning conversion requirements.
