WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• Gas supply requirements:
As shipped
from the factory,
this dryer is configured
for use with (NG) natural
gas. It can be converted
for use with LP (Liquefied
Propane) gas. Gas
pressure
must not exceed 8-in. water column for
(NG), or 13-in. water column for (LP).
• A qualified
service or gas company
technician
must
connect
the dryer to the gas service.
Failure to do so
can 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 can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Supply
line requirements:
Your laundry
room must have a rigid gas supply
line to your 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. A 1/8-in.
NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should
be 1/2-in.
IPS. If acceptable
under local codes and ordinances
and when acceptable
to your gas supplier,
3/8-in.
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 can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate. Failure to do so can 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 can 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 can 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 can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Securely tighten
all gas connections.
Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Use Teflon ® tape or a pipe-joint
compound
that is
insoluble
in Liquefied
Petroleum
(LP) gas on all pipe
threads.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly
of the dryer; any
disassembly
requires
the attention
and tools of an
authorized
and qualified
service
person or company.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

from this appliance. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz.
grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to follow this warning can result
