pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8

Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer

area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as
boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is
turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before
making another attempt to light.
