Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.

Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company
personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Without the correct gas supply, your dryer may tumble the
clothes, but will not dry the clothes. For more information,
