1. New stainless steel flexible connector. Use this type of
connector only if allowed by local codes. Use Design AGA
Certified Connector.
2. 1/8" NPT Pipe Plug (for checking inlet gas pressure)
3. Equipment Shut-Off Valve
Installed within 6' (1.8 m) of dryer.
4. Iron Pipe. Shorter than 20' (6.1 m)
Use 3/8" pipe.
Longer than 20' (6.1 m) - Use 1/2" pipe.
5. 3/8" N.P.T. Gas Connection.
Note
Make sure the burner orifice is proper for the type of
gas you have.
For instance, using LPG with LNG orifice will result
in death, fire or explosion. Or using LNG with LPG
nozzle will not allow the burner to ignite.
If needed, orifice conversion should be done by a
qualified service technician and mark or put the
label of the current type of orifice on the dryer.
If changing the orifice, also adjust the gas valve.
1. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry
room is appropriate for the dryer. The dryer is prepared
for Natural Gas with a 3/8" NPT gas connection.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection at the
back of the dryer. Make sure that you don't damage the
threads of the gas connection pipe when you remove the
shipping cap.
3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room's gas supply
using a new flexible stainless steel connector (as noted
below, use a new stainless steel flexible connector if
allowed by your local codes).
4. Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and
your laundry room's gas supply. Turn on your laundry
room's gas supply and check all pipe connections (both
internal and external) for gas leaks with a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid. Refer to Part 7 (page 20)
5. For LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas connection, refer to
this manual's section entitled Gas Requirements and
Instructions.

Electric Dryer.
Note

Burner input requirements

If your house is located at the elevations up to
10,000 feet.
Adjusting burner input setting is not needed at this
elevation because AGA certifies this dryer will not have
any problem with the BTU rating at this altitude.
If your house is above 10,000 feet, you are required to
adjust a four percent (4%) reduction of the burner BTU
rating indicated on the model/serial rating plate.
! WARNING!
• Use a new UL listed 30 amp power supply cord.
• Use a UL approved strain relief.
• Disconnect power before making electrical
connections.
• Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to
center terminal.
• Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be
connected to green ground connector.
• Securely tighten all electrical connections
• See installation instructions for complete
instructions.
• Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical
shock.
