The design of this dryer has been certified by CSA International

for use at altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 m) above sea level at

the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial plate. Burner input

adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated up to

this elevation.

When installed above 10,000 feet (3048 m), a four percent (4%)

reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial

plate is required for each 1,000 foot (305 m) increase in elevation.

For assistance when converting to other gas types and/or

installing above 10,000 feet (3048 m) elevation, contact your

local service company.

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-

certified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases

with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert

the dryer from the gas specified on the serial/rating plate for use

with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

Gas Supply

Line

Recommended

method

[]

Provide a gas supply line of 1/2"rigid (IPS) pipe to the dryer

location. Pipe joint compounds

that resist the action of LP gas

must be used. Do not use TEFLON _'t tape with LP gas.

Minimum tubing diameter for LP gas is 1/2".Usually, LP gas

suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Alternate

method

[]

The gas supply may also be connected using %" approved

copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply

line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint

compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used.

Flexible metal appliance

connector:

[]

It is recommended

that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,

design-certified

by CSA International, be used for connecting

the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends

through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with %" mate

pipe thread.)

[]

Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line

when moving the dryer.

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings

to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

[]

Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff

valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance

with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,

an individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in

accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA

B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2. This valve should be located

in the same room as the dryer. It should be in a location that

allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to

shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas

to the dryer.
