WARNING
To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:
•The 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 the dryer. Before tightening the connection, purge remaining air from gas line to dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is required to prevent gas valve contamination.

Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft3 (37.3 MJ/m3) 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 3000 feet
(915 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to Table 1.
