Test for Leaks, Electrical Requirements For GAS Dryers

Installation Instructions

CONNECTING A GAS DRYER (cont.)

TEST FOR LEAKS

WARNING – Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.

Check all connections for leaks with soapy solution or equivalent.

Apply a soap solution. The leak test solution must not contain ammonia, which could cause damage to the brass fittings.

If leaks are found, close the valve, retighten the joint and repeat the soap test.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION FOR GAS DRYERS

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and personal injury:

•Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.

•The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

FOR GAS DRYERS

This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected to a properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15- or 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.

If electrical supply provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

WARNING – This dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding terminal from this plug.

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

If local codes permit, an external ground wire (not provided), which meets local codes, may be added by attaching to the green ground screw on the rear of the dryer, and to an alternate established ground.
