Remove 2 burner tube mounting screws and remove burner tube in order to gain access to the orifice.
Using a 3/8” wrench or socket, remove the existing orifice and replace it with an orifice from the kit.
Important
!Use extreme care when removing and replacing orifice (injector). This orifice (injector) is made of
brass, which is easily damaged.
Reinstall the burner tube onto the burner base.
For unregulated gases only, use a flat screwdriver to remove the regulator vent cap and install the blocking pin (P/N 140414) from the kit.
Install the gas train back into the dryer gas train enclosure. Be sure the tab at the rear of the gas train engages into the mounting slot.
Connect the union and the 3 electrical plugs. Repeat these steps for the other burner.
Affix L.P. Conversion Label (P/N 114515) to the dryer’s data label.
Complete L.P. Kit Conversion Confirmation Label (P/N 114083) and affix this label as close as possible to the dryer’s existing dryer rating (data) label/plate.
Non-CE Dryers
Affix L.P. Conversion Rating Label Addendum (P/N 114090) as close as possible to the dryer’s existing dryer rating (data) label/plate.
CE Dryers
Affix new data plate label that came with the conversion kit.
Open all shutoff valves, reconnect electrical power to the dryer, and test for leaks.
Important
!Never test for leaks with an open flame!!! Use a soapy water solution or product intended for that
purpose.
Unregulated Gas Valve
Regulate (govern) gas externally (refer to “Supply Pressure” in chart on page 14) to the correct gas pressure for the gas being used. Operate dryer through 1 complete cycle to ensure proper operation.
Regulated Gas Valve
Refer to “Gas Pressure Adjustment” on the following page to adjust the gas valve to the appropriate burner pressure listed on page 14.
Important
!Conversions done improperly can result in a fire or explosion!
Conversion from Propane or Butane Gas to Natural Gas
The following conversion allows the dryer to be operated with natural gas. If the dryer is setup for unregulated gas, a slight modification has to be done to the gas valve, to enable the internal regulator.
Parts Required for Conversion:
Description | P/N | Qty |
Vent Cap | 140415 | 2* |
Burner Orifice (Injector) | ** | 2* |
*This includes 1 for each pocket (tumbler).
**Refer to page 14 for orifice (injector) size.
Instructions
Disconnect electrical power to the dryer.
Close all shutoff valves (for both top and bottom tumbler) in dryer’s gas supply line.
Important
!The following procedures must be performed on both top and bottom tumblers.
Open the panels located just below each loading door.
Locate the gas train and disconnect the union, 3 electrical plugs, and the gas train mounting screws from the burner. Carefully slide the gas train out of the gas train enclosure. (The carbon ignitor located at the far end of the gas train is very fragile.)
Remove 2 burner tube mounting screws and remove burner tube in order to gain access to the orifice.
Using a 3/8” wrench or socket, remove the existing orifice and replace it with an orifice from the kit.
Important
!Use extreme care when removing and replacing orifice (injector). This orifice (injector) is made of
brass, which is easily damaged.
