CAUTION
• Thoroughly test all piping for leaks before operat-
ing. All fittings and piping must be tight and sup-
ported against breakage and vibration.
• Turn off primary gas line shut off cock when not
in use (overnight, weekends, holidays, etc.).

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO NOT CON-
NECT THE GAS LINE TO THE TUMBLE DRYER IF
THE GAS SERVICE IS NOT THE SAME AS THAT
SPECIFIED ON THE TUMBLE DRYER SERIAL PLATE!
It will first be necessary to convert the gas burner or-
ifice and gas valve. Appropriate conversion kits are
available.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion, use
a new flexible stainless steel connector.

IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or conversions
must be made by the Manufacturer’s Authorized Deal-
ers, Distributors or local service personnel.
IMPORTANT: The tumble dryer must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system. Gas supply pressure
must never exceed 1/2 PSI [3.5 mbar] during leak test-
ing. Gas supply must provide 6.5+/-1.5 inches
[16.32+/-3.7 mbar] with all gas appliances firing.
NOTE: For gas valves with a manual shut-off switch on
the gas valve, the shut-off switch does not protect the
valve from this pressure test. Use the individual man-
ual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system to
protect the gas valve.
IMPORTANT: The installation must comply with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes:
• with the latest edition of the “National Fuel Gas
Code,” ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S.A.
• with CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane In-
stallation Code in Canada
• In Australia and New Zealand , installation must
comply with the Gas Installations Standard AS/NZS
5601 Part 1: General Installations.
• In the EU, installation must comply with the installa-
tion regulations of the country of destination.
IMPORTANT: For Australian models, do not remove the
gas type label on the rear of the unit.
Obtain specific gas service pipe size from the gas supplier. Refer
to
Table 4
and
Table 5
for general pipe size.
The following must be furnished and installed by the customer
for the gas service line to each tumble dryer. Refer to
Figure 11
.
• Sediment traps
• Shut-off valves (supplied in literature bag)
• Supply pressure taps (1/8 NPT minimum) (refer to
Figure 11
)
• Union at gas supply connection (listed to ANSI Z21.24 and
CSA 6.10)
It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all tumble
dryer gas connections. This can be done by installing a 1 inch
pipe gas loop to maintain equal pressure at all gas connections.
Refer to
Figure 15
.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, if the tumble
dryer is to be connected to Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) gas, a vent to the outdoors must be provided in
the room where the tumble dryer is installed.
W062R1
Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions,
nature of gas and pressure, and the adjustment of the appliance
are compatible.
NATURAL GAS supply pressures with all gas appliances run-
ning (tumble dryers, water heaters, space heaters, furnace, etc.):
