Gas Supply Requirements
Gas type
Natural gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with Natural Gas. It is design-
certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases
with appropriate conversion.
■
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas
in your home. Burner information is located on the rating
plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does
not agree with the type of gas available, please reference the
“Assistance or Service” section of the “Use and Care Guide.”
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
IMPORTANT:
The gas installation must conform with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
Screw in leveling legs

Using a wrench and tape measure, screw legs into leg holes
until bottom of foot is approximately ½" (13 mm) (to match
height of 3.6 cu. ft. capacity washer) or 1½" (38 mm) (to
match height of 3.8 cu. ft. capacity washer) from bottom of
dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is
close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical
connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
