only with a natural gas supply. A manufacturer-
supplied conversion kit is required to convert this
dryer for propane gas supply. Use propane gas
conversion kit WE25M87. Conversion must be
made by properly trained and qualified personnel
in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
ADJUSTING FOR ELEVATION
• Gas clothes dryers input ratings are based on
sea level operation and need not be adjusted for
operation at or below 2000 ft. (610 m) elevation.
For operation at elevations above 2000 ft. (610 m),
input ratings should be reduced at a rate of 4
percent for each 1000 ft. (305 m) above sea level.
