Connecting gas Dryers
WARNINg
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, property damage, injury to persons, or
death when using this appliance, follow basic
safety precautions.
gas Supply Requirements
• As shipped from the factory, this dryer is
configured for use with natural gas (Ng). It can
be converted for use with propane (LP) gas.
gas pressure must not exceed 8 inches
(20.3 cm) of water column for Ng, or 13 inches
(33 cm) of water column for LP.
• A qualified service or gas company technician
must connect the dryer to the gas service.
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in fire, explosion, or death.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to the dryer.
In the United States, an individual manual
shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least
6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with
the National Fuel gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or
Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1.
A 1/8-inch (0.3 cm) NPT pipe plug must be
installed. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be
½ inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8-inch (1 cm) approved tubing may
be used where lengths are less than 20 ft.
(6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for
lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure to do
so may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• To prevent contamination of the gas valve,
purge the gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before
tightening the connection between the gas
supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until
the odor of gas is detected. Failure to do so may
result in fire, explosion, or death.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• Use only a new AgA- or CSA-certified gas
supply line with flexible stainless steel
connectors. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to
do so may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound
that is insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all
pipe threads. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
disassembly requires the attention and tools of
an authorized and qualified service technician
or company. Failure to follow this warning may
result in fire, explosion, or death.
