To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure
to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fire, 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 fire, explosion, or death.
• This dryer must be plugged into a 120V ~ 60Hz,
grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse
or circuit breaker. Failure to follow this warning can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Gas supply requirements:
As shipped from the factory, this dryer is
configured for use with LP(Liquefied Propane)
gas. It can be converted for use with natural gas.
Gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of water
column.
• A qualified service or gas company technician must
connect the dryer to the gas service.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do
so can result in fire, 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 shutoff 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
1
⁄₈ - inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, 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,
3
⁄₈ - 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 fire, explosion, or
death.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire,
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 fire,
explosion, or death.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks.
Use a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply
line with flexible stainless steel connectors. Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
any disassembly requires the attention and tools
of an authorized and qualified service person or
company. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• Use a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter. When using ball-type gas shut off valves,
they shall be T-handle-type. A flexible gas connector,
when used, must not exceed 3 feet.
