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, contact your dealer 

or call the phone numbers referenced in the “Assistance or 

Service” section of your Use and Care Guide.

LP Gas Conversion:

IMPORTANT:

 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 your gas company.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure 

gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water 

column. 
Examples of a qualified person include: 
licensed heating personnel, 

authorized gas company personnel, and

authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: 

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or 
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock 
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. 
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment- 
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must 
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes 
and ordinances.

WARNING:

 

Improper connection of the equipment- 

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative 
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is 
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with 
the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.
