INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATION 

INSTRUCTIONS

Your dryer must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A “T” handle 
manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the installed dryer at 
the location of operation.
If a flexible gas connector is used to connect the dryer, the connector may not be 
longer than 3 ft. (36 in./91.5 cm).

Grounding requirements

Your dryer must be grounded. If a malfunction or breakdown occurs, the 
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least 
resistance for the electrical current.

Gas models

For GAS MODELS ONLY

: The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas 

line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas 
does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure 
the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check 
the exhaust for heat.

WARNING: 

Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase and install a UL-approved gas 

detector.

• Install and use it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING: 

• This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding 

conductor and a grounding plug.

• The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed 

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Never connect the ground wire to the plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot 

water pipes.
