Improper assembly or adjustments can cause hazardous
conditions.
A plugged tap, accessible for a pressure gauge connection,
must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately
upstream of the dryers.

Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural, L.P., and butane gases must be used.
Test all connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water
solution (liquid detergent works well).

Never test for leaks with a flame!!!
Converting from One Family
of Gas to Another ______________________
!
WARNING
This appliance must only be operated with the gas
type indicated on the dryer’s rating plate. If the
appliance is converted (gas type changed), a new
rating plate
must
be obtained from JLA Limited
(dryer’s serial number is required to purchase a
conversion kit).
IMPORTANT:
Any burner changes or conversions must be
made by a qualified professional.
The dryers manufactured for Belgium, Luxemburg, Greece,
Estonia, Slovak Republic, Iceland, Malta, Poland and
Cyprus cannot be converted from one family of gas to
another.
Conversion from Natural Gas
to Propane or Butane Gas
The following conversion allows the dryer to be operated with
either propane, butane, or LPG. The use of gas valve kit (P/N
140411) disables the internal regulator of the gas valve.
Therefore, the gas supply is ungoverned and an external
regulator must be provided at the source of the supply
(example L.P. tank) or the gas supply line to the dryer. The
type of L.P. kit supplied will depend on the country the dryer is
installed in.
