Installation Instructions

GAS CONNECTION FOR

GAS DRYERS

1.Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the dryer.

Conversion to LP Gas: DO NOT connect the dryer to LP gas service without converting the gas valve. An LP conversion kit (Pub. No. 14–A038)MUST be installed by a qualified gas technician.

a. Connect a 1/2″ (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe from gas supply line to

the 3/8″ (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2″ to 3/8″ (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.

b. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

c. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.

WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

2.Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system. Use duct tape to seal all joints.

3.With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of the legs until the dryer is resting solidly on all four legs. Place a level on top of the dryer. THE DRYER

MUST BE LEVEL AND RESTING SOLIDLY ON ALL FOUR LEGS.

4.Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into the outlet.

5.Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

CAUTION: Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

6.Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.

NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the timer to OFF and wait 5 minutes before making another attempt to light.

7.If your dryer does not operate, please review the Troubleshooting Tips section in this manual before calling for service.

8.Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for future reference.
