Gas type

Natural gas:

This dryer is equipped for use with Natural Gas. It is design- certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion.

■■ Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the “Dryer User Instructions.”

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

■■ 1/2" NPT pipe is recommended.

■■ 3/8" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

■■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas connection to the dryer (see illustration).

■■ Must include a shutoff valve:

In the U.S.A.:

An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

In Canada:

An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer.
