electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
* Gas supply requirements: As shipped from the
factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural
gas (NG). it can be converted for use with propane
(LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8 inches
water column for (NG), or 13 inches water column for
(LP).
* A qualified service or gas company technician must
connect the dryer to the gas service. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
dosing its indlvldual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
* Supply llne requirements: Your laundry room must
have a rigid gas supply llne to your dryer, in the
United States, an indlvldual manual shutoff valve
MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the
dryer, in accordance with the Natlonal Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA
B149.1. A % inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* if using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1.6 inch
IPS. if acceptable under local codes and ordinances
and when acceptable to your gas supplier, ¾ inch
approved tubing may be used where lengths are less
than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for
lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
* Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire,
explosion, or death.
* To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the
gas supply of air and sediment before connecting
the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the
connection between the gas supply and the dryer,
purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks.
Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* Use only a new AGA= or CSA=certified gas supply
llne with flexlble stalnless steel connectors. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
* Use Teflon tape or a pipe=jolnt compound that is
insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
