1. Remove the shipping cap from gas
pipe at the rear of the dryer.
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 qualified 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
liquefied gases on all pipe connections.
IMPORTANT
The supply line must be equipped with
an approved manual shuto 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 shuto valve.
3. Open the shuto valve in the gas
supply line to allow gas to flow through
the pipe. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.
4. Check for gas system leaks with a
manometer. 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
flame.
