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 propane, 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 certified

by UL for use with propane gas 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 of your Use and Care Guide.

Propane Gas Conversion:

IMPORTANT: 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.

GAS SUPPLY LINE

Option 1 (Recommended Method)

Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas

■

connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association

or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas

supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter

fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and the

dryer gas pipe, as needed, to prevent kinking.

Option 2 (Alternate Method)

Approved aluminum or copper tubing:

Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible

■

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas

connection to the dryer. See illustration.

1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.

■

3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for

■

lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier

permit.

If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

■

Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and

■

a different size adapter fitting.

If your dryer has been converted to use propane gas, 3/8"

■

propane 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.

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action

of propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

Must include shut-off valve.

■

In the U.S.A.:

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within

six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location should be easy

to reach for opening and closing.

In Canada:

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in

accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual

manual shut-off valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m)

of the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for

opening and closing.
