Connecting the gas
1. Remove the shipping cap from gas
pipe at the rear of the dryer.
2. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-
rigid or approved pipe from gas supply
line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer. Use a
1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm)
reducer for the connection. Apply an
approved thread sealer that is resistant
to the corrosive action of liquefied
gases on all pipe connections.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas
supply line to allow gas to flow through
the pipe. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.
All connections must be wrench-tightened

Water supply requirements
Cold water faucet MUST be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your dryer’s water inlet.
The faucet MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with
threading for laundry hose connection. Water
pressure MUST be between 20 and 120 psi.
Your water department can advise you of
your water pressure.
1. Turn off COLD water supply to washer.
2. Remove COLD inlet hose from COLD
water supply and inspect for rubber
washer. Replace washer if it is torn or
worn out.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
The supply line must be equipped with an
approved manual shutoff valve. 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 gas shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT
Installation to the gas service must follow
local codes and ordinances and the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or in Canada, CSA B149.1.
WARNING
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses
for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion and
bulges. Replace all hoses, if any sign of
the above is visible. All hoses should be
replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk
of hose failures.
WARNING
DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas
service without converting the gas valve.
An L.P. conversion kit PN# PCK4200 (not
included) must be installed by a qualified
gas technician.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open flame.
