Gas requirements
WARNING
• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane)
gases.
• THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM
WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE
ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH
THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/
Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE
UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /
CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR
CANADA).
• Gas dryers are equipped with a burner
vent for use with natural gas. If you
plan to use your dryer with LP (liquid
propane) gas, it must be converted
for safe and proper performance by a
qualified service technician.
• A
1
/
2
” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is
recommended and must be reduced to
connect to the
3
/
8
” (1 cm) gas line on
your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code
requires that an accessible, approved
manual gas shut-off valve be installed
within 6” of your dryer.
• Gas dryers installed in residential
garages must be raised 18 inches
(46 cm) above the floor.
• Additionally, a

(National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream
of your dryer’s gas supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from
the gas supply pipe system during any
pressure testing of the system.
• Do not reuse old flexible metal gas
lines. Flexible gas lines must be
design certified by the American Gas
Association (CGA in Canada).
NOTE
• Your dryer uses an automatic ignition
system to ignite the burner. There is no
constant burning pilot.
• 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.
