plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the state, province, or region
where this appliance is being installed.
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve in an accessible place.

If connecting to LP Gas, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure
does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water column.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Gas type
Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information
is located on the rating plate located on the rear of the console. If this information does not
agree with the type of gas available in your home, contact your local Fisher & Paykel supplier or
service center.

Natural gas

This dryer is supplied ready for use with Natural Gas.
It is design certified by UL International for LP (Propane or Butane) Gases with the appropriate
conversion.
LP gas conversion
If the dryer is to be operated on LP (Liquid Propane or Butane) Gas, the dryer must be
converted. To do so, use only the approved Fisher & Paykel conversion kit listed in Accessories
on page 7. Do not use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.
The dryer must be converted for safe and proper performance by qualified service or installation
personel.
Conversion kits for Natural and LP Gas are available from your local Fisher & Paykel Dealer
