Dryer Installation Instructions
Burner input adjustments are not required

tion. When installed above 10,000 feet (3048 m),
a four percent (4%) reduction of the burner
BTU rating shown on the model/serial plate
is required for each 1,000 foot (305 m) increase
in elevation.
For assistance when converting to other
gas types and/or installing above 10,000
feet (3048 m) elevation, contact your local
service company.
3. Check that dryer is equipped with the cor-
rect burner for the particular type of gas
used. Burner information can be found on
the serial/rating plate in the door well of the

with the type of gas available, see your
dealer.

gas supplier. A qualified service technician
must do conversion. Gas conversion kit
