A Backdraft Damper, Part No. 58786 (obtain locally), should be installed in a 10.2 cm (4 inch) diameter VERTICAL duct system. This will prevent a backdraft when dryer is not in use, and will keep the exhaust air in balance within the central exhaust system.

Step 3: (Gas Dryer Only) Connect Gas Supply Pipe

WARNING

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:

Each dryer must be connected to the type of gas as shown on nameplate located in the door recess.

Use a new flexible stainless steel connector.

Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape, on all pipe threads.

Purge air and sediment from gas supply line before connecting it to a dryer. Before tightening the connection, purge remaining air from gas line to each dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is required to prevent gas valve contamination.

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.

Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must be performed by a suitably qualified service person.

1.Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is equipped at the factory for Natural Gas with a 3/8 inch NPT gas connection.

NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Natural Gas, 37.3 MJ/m3 (1000 Btu/ft3), service must be supplied at minimum 5.0 inch water column pressure to maximum 10.5 inch water column pressure.

For proper operation at altitudes above 610 m

(2000 feet) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to Table 2.
