Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water
column.
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.
Gas Type
Natural gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-certified
by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with
appropriate conversion.
■
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in
your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate in
the door well of your dryer. If this information does not agree
with the type of gas available, contact your dealer or call the
phone numbers referenced in the "Assistance or Service"
section.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting your gas company.

If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas,
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe.
