1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas
service without converting the gas valve.
An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a
qualied gas technician.
2. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid
or approved pipe from gas supply line to the
3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back
of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27
cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for the connection.
Apply an approved thread sealer that is
resistant to the corrosive action of liqueed
gases on all pipe connections.
IMPORTANT
The supply line must be equipped with an
approved manual 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 gas shutoff valve.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line
to allow gas to ow through the pipe. Wait
a few minutes for gas to move through the
gas line.
4. Check for gas system leaks with a manom-
eter. If a manometer is not available, test all
connections by brushing on a soapy water
solution.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open
ame.
