Gas requirements

The installation must conform with Local Codes, or in the absence of Local Codes, to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI/Z223.1, Latest Revision (for the United States).

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connecting to LP Gas, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 13” (33 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include: Licensed heating personnel,

Authorised gas company personnel and authorised service personnel.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Gas type

Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate located on the back splash. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available in your home, contact your local Fisher & Paykel supplier or service center.

Natural Gas

This dryer is supplied ready for use with Natural Gas.

It is design certified by UL International for LP (Propane or Butane) Gases with the appropriate conversion.

LP Gas conversion

If the dryer is to be operated on LP (Liquid Propane or Butane) Gas, the dryer must be converted. To do so, use only the approved Fisher & Paykel conversion kit listed in Accessories on page 4. Do not use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

The dryer must be converted for safe and proper performance by qualified service or installation personel.

Conversion kits for Natural and LP Gas are available from your local Fisher & Paykel Dealer (see Accessories page 4). If other conversions are required, check with your local gas utility for specific information concerning conversion requirements.
