Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18" (46cm) above the floor.
Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of y
our dryer’s gas supply connection.
Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of
the system.
This dryer must be connected to the gas supply piping with a listed flexible gas connector that
complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the
American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).
Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum
gas.
As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION - Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no
constant burning pilot.
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 your dryer.
If a flexible gas connector is used to install your dryer, the connector may not be longer than 3' (36",
91.5cm).
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.
Electric requirements
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models - U.S. and Canada
A 120Volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker is
required.
Electric models - U.S. only
Most dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208
volt, 60Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data
label located behind the door. A 30-amperefuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is
required.
If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be connected by means of a new
power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is UL listed and rated at a minimum of
120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop
