GAS CONNECTION
1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of
the dryer.
DO NOT
connect the dryer to L.P. gas service
without converting the gas valve. Failure to
convert the valve will result in high gas
pressures which could cause fire or explosion.
An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a
qualified gas technician.
2. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved
pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer (see pages 6 and 7).
Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer
for a connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that
is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on
all pipe connections.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow
gas to flow through pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water
solution.
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open
flame.
GENERAL INSTALLATION
1. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system
(see pages 3 and 4). Use duct tape to seal all joints.
2. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of
the legs until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs.
Place a level on top of the dryer.
The dryer MUST be
level and resting solid on all four legs.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE:
Check to ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/
fuse box before plugging the power cord into the outlet.
4. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dryer, make sure the
dryer area is clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors. Also see that
nothing (such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
5. Run the dryer through a and cycle check for proper
operation.
NOTE:
On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer
is turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off.
If this happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5
minutes before making another attempt to light.
6. If your dryer does not operate, please review the "Avoid
Service Checklist" located in your Use and Care Guide
before calling for service.

future reference.
NOTE:
A wiring diagram is located inside the dryer rear
console or in an envelope on the inside of the dryer
near the motor.
