Gas requirements

WARNING
• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
• The installation must be conformed with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest revision(for the UNITED
STATES), or with the natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1(for Canada)
• Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to
use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper
performance by a qualified service technician. (LNG models only)
You must check the burner of your model and use the proper LP Kit accordingly. To
check the detail information of the burner, open the door and check the rating label
location on the door frame.

• A 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to
the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an
accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6" of your dryer.
• Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the
floor.
• Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas
supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure
testing of the system.
• Do not reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be designed and
certified by the standard for connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 • CSA 6.10.
NOTE
• Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant
burning pilot.
• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied
petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
