Gas type
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information
is located on the rating plate located on the rear of the console. If this information does not
agree with the type of gas available in your home, contact your local Fisher & Paykel supplier or
service center.
Natural gas
This dryer is supplied ready for use with Natural Gas.
It is design certified by UL International for LP (Propane or Butane) Gases with the appropriate
conversion.
LP gas conversion
If the dryer is to be operated on LP (Liquid Propane or Butane) Gas, the dryer must be
converted. To do so, use only the approved Fisher & Paykel conversion kit listed in Accessories
on page 7. Do not use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
The dryer must be converted for safe and proper performance by qualified service or installation
personel.
Conversion kits for Natural and LP Gas are available from your local Fisher & Paykel Dealer
(see Accessories page 7). If other conversions are required, check with your local gas utility for
specific information concerning conversion requirements.
