Gas Requirements
(Gas Dryers)
NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must
conform with the local codes and ordinances and
AS5601 / AG601 “Gas Installations.” In the absence
of local codes and ordinances, applicable National
codes should be followed.
Connection of Gas Supply Pipe
1. Install the dryer with sufficient clearance for
adequate air circulation, and for the ease of the
dryer installation, servicing and operation. For
maximum drying performance, we recommend
you allow more clearance than the clearances that
are listed throughout this manual.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection
at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you do not
damage the pipe threads when removing the cap.
3. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with
the type of gas in your laundry room.
NOTE: Natural gas, 37.3 MJ/m
3
(1000 Btu/ft
3
),
service must be supplied at 1.13 kPa (4.54 inch
water column) pressure. Do not connect the dryer
to L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) gas service without
converting the gas valve. A No. 401P3 L.P.
(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas Conversion Kit must be
installed by the Manufacturer’s Authorized
Dealers, Distributors, or local service personnel.
NOTE: L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) gas, 93.1 MJ/m
3
(2500 Btu/ft
3
), service must be supplied at 2.75 kPa
(11.04 inch water column) pressure and a vent to
the outdoors must be provided.
4. If local codes allow the use of flexible gas tubing,
connect the 3/8 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread)
gas connection at the rear of the dryer to the
laundry room’s gas line with new flexible
stainless steel tubing (using design certified
Australian Gas Association connector only).
IMPORTANT: Use local codes of practice for gas
installation.
This dryer is equipped with jet for Natural gas.

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 recess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel
connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P.
(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape,
on all pipe threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply
line before connecting it to the dryer.
Before tightening the connection, purge
remaining air from gas line to dryer until
odor of gas is detected. This step is
required to prevent gas valve
contamination.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
• Any disassembly requiring the use of tools
must be performed by a suitably qualified
service person.
