CONNECTING GAS DRYERS (continued)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including

the following:

•Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector and a new AGA-certified connector. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.

(1.8 m) of the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•The dryer is configured for natural gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle for the type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas). Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Connecting the Gas Supply

NOTE: This dryer is configured from the factory set for natural gas (NG). If dryer is to be used with propane (LP) gas, it must be converted by a qualified

service technician.

1Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry room is turned OFF and the dryer is unplugged. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry room is appropriate for the dryer.

2Remove the shipping cap from the gas fitting at the back of the dryer. Be careful not to damage the threads of the gas connector when removing the shipping cap.

3Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply using a new flexible stainless steel connector with a ⅜ inches NPT fitting.

NOTE: DO NOT use old connectors.

4Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and your laundry room’s gas supply.

5Turn on the gas supply.

6Check all pipe connections (both internal and external) for gas leaks with a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.

7Proceed to Venting the Dryer (refer to pages 14-15).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

•If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the LP nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D) should be installed by a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•All connections must be in accordance with local codes and regulations. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
