Guidelines for Connecting Natural Gas to a Dryer
When initially installing the dryer, you must connect a fuel source before you can operate the dryer. Natu-
ral gas (NG) is one possible fuel choice.
• Operate the dryer on natural gas with a heat value of approximately 1000 BTU (880 kWper cubic
foot).
