If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
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.
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.

Gas supply
requirements
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
If local codes permit, it
is recommended that
new flexible metal
tubing, design-
certified by the
American Gas
Association, be
used for connecting
the appliance to the rigid
gas supply line. (The gas
pipe which extends through the lower rear
of the appliance has 3/8-inch male pipe
thread.)
A combination of pipe fittings must be
used to obtain an in-line connection to
the dryer.
Natural Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with NATURAL
GAS. It is design-certified by American Gas
Association for L.P. (propane or butane) gases
with appropriate conversion.
L.P. Gas:
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 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.
Burner input requirements:
Elevations up to 10,000 feet:
The design of this dryer has been certified by
the A.G.A. for use at altitudes up to 10,000 feet
above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indicated on
the model/serial rating plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when the dryer is
operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 feet:
When installed above 10,000 feet, a four
percent (4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U.
rating shown on the model/serial rating plate is
required for each 1,000 foot increase in
elevation. For assistance installing dryer above
10,000 feet elevation, contact your serving gas
supplier.
Supply line requirements:
Provide a rigid 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 and local codes, 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.
Gas requirements:
Check that dryer is
equipped with the correct
burner for the particular
type of gas in the home.
Burner information will be
found on the model/serial
rating plate in door well of
the dryer. If this information
does not agree with the type of gas available,
see your dealer.

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 and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psi.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Recommended ground
method
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
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA 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" 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.
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.
