GAS SUPPLY LINE
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
Ƀ If local codes permit, use a new exible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certied by the American Gas Association
or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas
supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT adapter
tting between the stainless steel gas connector and the dryer
gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method):
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:
Ƀ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer.
Ƀ 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
Ƀ 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
Ƀ If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
Ƀ Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and
a different size adapter tting.
Ƀ 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 TEFLON
®†
tape.
Ƀ Must include shut-off valve.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off 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 shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shut-off valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m)
of the washer/dryer. The location should be easy to reach
for opening and closing.

DRYER GAS PIPE
Ƀ The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer
has a 3/8" male pipe thread.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Ƀ Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT adapter tting
between the exible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as
needed to avoid kinking.
Ƀ Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
Ƀ This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a
listed exible gas connector that complies with the standard
for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations up to 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):
Ƀ The design of this washer/dryer is certied by CSA
International for use at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)
above sea level at the Btu rating indicated on the model/serial
number plate. Burner input adjustments are not required when
the washer/dryer is operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 meters):
Ƀ When installed above 10,000 ft. (3,048 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
Ƀ The washer/dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during pressure testing at pressures greater
than 1/2 psi.
1. Pull foam packing ring out of washer
Open the washer lid. The latch under the dryer will keep
the lid open. Pull the foam packing ring and drain hose
out of the washer.
NOTE: Keep the foam ring and use it when transporting
your washer/dryer. This packing material is used to keep
the washer tub stable during transport.
