Frigidaire 137153700B installation instructions Gas connection, Wire, 10-30R

Gas connection

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

DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a qualified gas technician.

2.Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.

The supply line must be equipped with an ap- proved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the dryer and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the gas shutoff valve.

3.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow gas to flow through the pipe. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
