hk Explosion Hazard
Connect dryer to a regulated
gas supply.
Use a new flexible gas supply
line.
If L.P. gas is used, the L.P. gas
supply must not exceed 13”
water column.
Failure
to
do so can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
A
n
This installation must conform
with American National Standard,
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
2223.1 -latest edition (*, Page 5) and
all local codes and ordinances.
B
. The design of this dryer has
been certified-by the American Gas
Association for use at altitudes up to
10,000 feet above sea level at the
B.T.U. rating indicated on the
-
model/serial rating plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when
the dryer is operated up to this
elevation.
When installed above 10,000 feet, a
four percent (4%) reduction of the
burner B.T.U. rating shown on the
model/serial rating plate is required
for each 1,000 foot increase in
elevation. For assistance when
converting to other gas types and/or
installing above 10,000 feet elevation,
contact your local service company.
C
n
Check that the dryer is
equipped with the correct burner for
the particular type of gas used.
Burner information can be found on
the model/serial rating plate in the
door well of the appliance. If this
information does not agree with the
type of gas available, see your
dealer.
D
. This dryer is equipped for use
with NATURAL GAS. it is certified by
the American Gas Association for
manufactured, mixed and L.P
(propane and butane) gases with
appropriate conversion. No attempt
shall be made to convert the
appliance from the gas specified on
the model/serial rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting
the serving gas supplier. Conversion
---
must be done by a qualified service
technician. Gas conversion kit part
numbers are listed on the gas valve
burner base.
n
Provide a rigid gas supply line
of l/2-inch IPS pipe to the dryer
location, If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 feet, larger
pipe will be needed. For L.P gas
usage, 3/8-inch, approved copper
tubing may be used. Pipe-joint
compounds suitable for use with L.P
gas should be used.
F
n
If local codes and ordinances
permit, it is recommended that new,
flexible metal tubing, design-certified
by the American Gas Association, be
used for connecting the dryer to the
gas supply line. (The gas feed pipe,
which extends through the lower rear
of the dryer, is provided with 3/8-inch
male pipe thread.)
shutoff valve
G
WThe supplv line shall be
equipped with ‘a shutoff valve. This
valve should be located in the same
room as the dryer and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening
and closing. Do Not block access to
the shutoff valve.
H
If rigyd pipe is
used as a ga
combination
must be used to’dbtain a: in-line
connection to the dryer.
I
n
Make sure that lower edges of the
cabinet, plus the back and bottom
sides of the dryer are free of
obstructions to permit adequate
clearance of air openings for
combustion air, See “Recessed area
and closet installation instructions,” on
Page 11, for minimum spacing
requirements.
J
n
For ease of installation, operation
and servicing (if ever needed)
adequate space should be provided
around the dryer.
K
n
A 1 /&inch, NPT plugged
tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas
supply connector to the dryer.
The dryer and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of l/2 psig
(3.4 kPa).
The dryer must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing
the individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than l/2 psig
(3.4 kPa).
Electrical
requirements
If codes permit and
a
separate
ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground
path is adequate.
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15 or
20-ampere fused electrical supply is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be
provided.
Recommended ground
method
For your personal safety, this dryer
must be grounded. This dryer is
equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3-prong ground plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating
3-prong ground-type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code ANSVNFPA
70 - latest edition (**, Page 5) and
all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
