• This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-
Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere
fuse or circuit breaker.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer;
disassembly requires the attention and tools of
an authorized and qualified service technician or
company.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
• Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm)
water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water
column for LP.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply at
pressures greater than 3.5 kPa.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
In the United States, an individual manual
shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6
ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian
gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/8-inch NPT
pipe plug must be installed.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 0.5-
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8-inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger
tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20
ft. (6.1 m).
• To prevent contamination of the gas valve,
purge the gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before
tightening the connection between the gas
supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until
the odor of gas is detected.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply
line (in compliance with the Standard for
Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 •
CSA 6.10) with flexible stainless steel connectors.
• Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
Connecting the Gas Supply
NOTE
• In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: This
product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter. When using ball-type gas shut off
valves, they must be T-handle-type. A flexible gas
connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.
• Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
• The dryer is configured for natural gas when
shipped from the factory. Make sure that the
dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle
for the type of gas being used (natural gas or
propane gas).
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector
and a new AGA-certified connector.
• A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.
(1.8 m) of the dryer.
• If necessary, the correct nozzle should be
installed by a qualified technician and the
change should be noted on the dryer. (For the LP
nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D.)
• All connections must be in accordance with local
codes and regulations. Gas dryers MUST exhaust
to the outdoors.
1
Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry
room is turned OFF and the dryer is
unplugged. Confirm that the type of gas
available in your laundry room is appropriate
for the dryer.
2
Remove the shipping cap from the gas fitting
at the back of the dryer. Be careful not to
damage the threads of the gas connector
when removing the shipping cap.
3
Connect the dryer to your laundry room's gas
supply using a new flexible stainless steel
connector with a 3/8-inch NPT fitting.
WARNING
• DO NOT use old connectors.
4
Securely tighten all connections between the
dryer and your laundry room's gas supply.
5
Turn on your laundry room's gas supply.
