A. This installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 - 1984, and local codes and ordinances.
B. Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, ratings
should be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
C. Check that this dryer is equipped with the correct burner for the particular type of gas in the home.
Burner information will be found on the rating plate in the door well of the appliance.
D. This dryer is equipped to be used with NATURAL GAS, certified by A.G.A., and for manufactured
mixed and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert appliances
from the gas specified on the rating plate for use with different gas without consulting the serving
gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. Gas conversion
kit part numbers are listed on the gas valve burner base.
E. Provide a gas supply line to the dryer location. When rigid pipe is used, it should be 1/2 inch IPS.
When acceptable to the gas supplier, 3/8 inch-approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20
feet. For lengths over 20 feet, larger tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the
action of L.P. gas must be used.
F. The supply line should be equipped with a shut-off valve. This valve should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block access to the shut-off valve.
G. If the dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom or closet, it must be exhausted to the
outside and provisions made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check covering codes
and ordinances.) Also refer to Recessed or closet installations.
H. If local codes permit, it is recommended that flexible metal tubing, design-certified by the American
Gas Association, be used for connecting the appliance to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which
extends through the lower rear of the appliance has 3/8 inch male pipe thread.)
I.
If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-
line connection to the dryer.
J. Make sure the lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and bottom sides of the dryer are free of
obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion. See Recessed or closet
installations for minimum spacing requirements.
K. For ease of installation, operation and servicing adequate space should be provided around the
dryer.
L. An 1/8 inch, NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer. The dryer and its individual
shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/ psig (3.45 Kpa). The dryer must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system, closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures of equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45
kPa).
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
M. The dryer wiring diagram is located behind the lower front access panel. Close the access panel
after servicing. Do Not operate the dryer with the access panel open.
N. If the dryer will not operate, check the following to be sure that:
a. Electric supply is connected.
b. Fuse is intact and tight.
