Gas requirements
WARNING
• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
• THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL
CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE
UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (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.
• 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 design certified by
the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).
NOTE
• 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.
NOTE
GAS IGNITION: Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner.
There is no constant burning pilot.
