To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector
and a new AGA-certified connector. Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.
(1.8 m) of the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fire,
explosion, or death.

Gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure
that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner
orifice for the type of gas being used (Natural Gas
or Liquefied Petroleum). Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• If necessary, the correct orifice (For the Natural
orifice package, order part number 383EEL3002K)
should be installed by a qualified technician and
the change should be noted on the dryer. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• All connections must be in accordance with local
codes and regulations. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
