Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft3 (37.3 MJ/m3) service must be supplied at 6.5 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 2500 feet
(760 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to Table 1.
L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, 2500 Btu/ft3
(93.1 MJ/m3) service must be supplied at 10 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. Gas Service without converting the gas valve. An LPK1 Sales Accessory (L.P. Gas Conversion Kit 649P3) must be installed.
