WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, property damage, injury to persons,
or death when using this appliance, follow
requirements including the following:
Electrical Requirements for Gas
Models Only
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded.
• This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC,
60-Hz. grounded outlet protected by a
15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
• 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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings could result
in serious injury
• This dryer is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.
Gas Supply Requirements
• As shipped from the factory, this dryer is
configured for use with natural gas (NG). It can
be converted for use with propane (LP) gas.
Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm)
water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water
column for LP.
• A qualified service or gas company technician
must connect the dryer to the gas service.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
disassembly requires the attention and tools of
an authorized and qualified service technician or
company.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate.
WARNING
Gas Supply Requirements (continued)
• 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.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be
0.5-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).
• 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.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified
gas supply line with flexible stainless steel
connectors.
• Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Connecting the Gas Supply
• Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector
and a new AGA-certified connector.
• A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.
(1.8 m) of the dryer.
• The dryer is configured for natural gas when
shipped from the factory. Make sure that the
dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle
for the type of gas being used (natural gas or
propane gas).
• If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the LP
nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D)
should be installed by a qualified technician and
the change should be noted on the dryer.
• All connections must be in accordance with
local codes and regulations. Gas dryers MUST
exhaust to the outdoors.
