grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING:

GAS TYPE
Natural Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is certified
by UL for use with propane gas with appropriate conversion.
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in
■
your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate in
the door well of your dryer. If this information does not agree
with the type of gas available, contact your dealer or call the
phone numbers referenced in the "Assistance or Service" section
of your Use and Care Guide.

GAS SUPPLY LINE

Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas
■
connector (Design Certified 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" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter
fitting 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
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
■
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer.
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable
■
for lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas
supplier permit.
If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
■
Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and
■
a different size adapter fitting.
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
Must include shut-off valve.
■
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within
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
shutoff valve be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer. The
location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
