n 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 PTFE plumber’s tape.
n Must include shutoff valve.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff 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 shutoff valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code. It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve
be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer. The location
should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
A. 3/8" flexible gas connector
B. 3/8" pipe-to-flare adapter fitting
C. 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping
D. 1/2" NPT gas supply line
E. Gas shutoff valve
Gas Supply Connection Requirements
n Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting
between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as
needed to avoid kinking.
n Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use PTFE plumber’s
tape.
n This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a
listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for
connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
Burner Input Requirements
Elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 m)
n When installed above 2,000 ft. (610 m), a 4% reduction of the
burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate is
required for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
n The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
Dryer gas pipe
n The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer has
a 3/8" male pipe thread.
INSTALLATION
Install Leveling Legs
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay
dryer down on cardboard.
2. Screw in leveling legs
Leveling leg with
diamond marking
Leveling leg without diamond
marking
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw leveling leg into leg
holes until bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) to
1 1/2" (38 mm) from bottom of the dryer.
For leveling legs with the diamond marking:
Screw legs into leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish
turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible.
Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each
of the two dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the
dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
