INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Connecting the gas Supply

 

Installation and service must be performed 

by a qualified installer, service agency, or the 

gas supplier. 

Failure to do so may result in fire, 

explosion, or death.

 

Use only a new stainless steel flexible 

connector and a new AgA-certified connector.

 

Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or 

death.

 

A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. 

(1.8 m) of the dryer.

 Failure to do so may result in 

fire, explosion, or death.

 

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).

 Failure to do so may result in fire, 

explosion, or death.

 

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. 

Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or 

death.

 

All connections must be in accordance with 

local codes and regulations.

 Failure to do so may 

result in fire, explosion, or death.

 

gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.

 

Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or 

death.

NOTE

This dryer is configured from the factory for 

natural gas (NG). If the dryer is to be used with 

propane (LP) gas, it must be converted by a 

qualified service technician.

1

Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry 

room is turned OFF and the dryer is unplugged. 

Confirm that the type of gas available in your 

laundry room is appropriate for the dryer.

2

Remove the shipping cap from the gas fitting at 

the back of the dryer. Be careful not to damage 

the threads of the gas connector when removing 

the shipping cap.

3

Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas 

supply using a new flexible stainless steel 

connector with a 3/8-inch NPT fitting.

NOTE

DO NOT use old connectors.

4

Securely tighten all connections between the 

dryer and your laundry room’s gas supply.

5

Turn on your laundry room’s gas supply.

6

Check all pipe connections (both internal and 

external) for gas leaks with a noncorrosive leak-

detection fluid. 

7

Proceed to Venting the Dryer.
