GAS REQUIREMENTS (GAS MODELS ONlY)
To reduce the risk of
fi
re,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
WARNING:
• Gas supply requirements: As shipped from the
factory, this dryer is con
fi
gured for use with natural
gas (NG). It can be converted for use with propane
(LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8 inches
water column for (NG), or 13 inches water column for
(LP).
• A quali
fi
ed service or gas company technician must
connect the dryer to the gas service.
Failure to follow
these instructions can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shuto
ff
valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply.
Failure to do so can
result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must
have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the
United States, an individual manual shuto
ff
valve
MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the
dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA
B149.1. A
⅛
inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be ½ inch
IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances
and when acceptable to your gas supplier,
⅜
inch
approved tubing may be used where lengths are less
than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for
lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m).
Failure to do so can
result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR

Failure to follow this warning can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• The power cord of this dryer is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
Failure to follow this warning can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz.
grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or
circuit breaker.
Failure to follow this warning can result

re, explosion, or death.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate.
Failure to do so can result in
fi
re,
explosion, or death.
• To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the
gas supply of air and sediment before connecting
the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the
connection between the gas supply and the dryer,
purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected.
Failure to do so can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• DO NOT use an open
fl
ame to inspect for gas leaks.
Use a noncorrosive leak detection
fl
uid.
Failure to do
so can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certi
fi
ed gas supply
line with
fl
exible stainless steel connectors.

do so can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
Failure to do so
can result in
fi
re, explosion, or death.
• Use Te

on tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Failure to do so can result in
fi
re, explosion,
or death.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
disassembly requires the attention and tools of
an authorized and quali
