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. For ease of installation,
operation and servicing, adequate
space should be provided around
the dryer.
K. A 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 must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during
pressure testing.
Electrical
requirements
C. Check that dryer is equipped
with the correct burner for the
particular type of gas used. Burner
information can be found on the
serial/rating plate in the door well of
the appliance. If this information does
not agree with the type of gas
available, see your dealer.
D.This dryer is equipped for use
with NATURAL GAS. It is certified by
CSA International for L.P. (propane
and butane) gases with appropriate
conversion. No attempt shall be
made to convert the appliance from
the gas specified on the serial/rating
plate for use with a 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 rigid gas supply line of
1/2-inch IPS pipe or 1/2-inch
approved tubing to the dryer
location. If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 feet
(6.1 m), larger tubing will be needed.
Pipe-joint compounds suitable for use
with L.P. gas should be used.
F. The supply line shall be equipped
with a shutoff valve installed within
6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition*. This
valve should be located in the same
room as the dryer and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening
and closing. Do Not block access to
the shutoff valve.
G.If the dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bathroom or
closet, provision must be made for
enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes
and ordinances. or refer to the
section of this instruction covering
recessed and closet installations.)
H. If local codes and ordinances
permit, it is recommended that a new
flexible gas connector, design-
certified by the AGA or CSA, be used
for connecting the dryer to the gas
supply line. (The gas pipes which
extend through the rear of the dryer
are 3/8-inch pipe thread.)
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.

Recommended
ground method
The dryer, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70*.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This
appliance must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current.
The power supply cord plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or
20-ampere fused electrical supply is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended.
It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be
provided.
