Installation requirements
Gas requirements
WARNING
• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
• THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF
LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION
(FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR
CANADA).
• Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to
use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper
performance by a qualified service technician. (LNG models only)
You must check the burner of your model and use the proper LP Kit accordingly. To
check the detail information of the burner, open the door and check the rating label
location on the door frame.
- 20,000 BTU: DC98-04114A
- 22,000 BTU: LPKIT-3/XAA (DC99-00792A)
• A 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to
the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an
accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6" of your dryer.
• Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the
floor.
• Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas
supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure
testing of the system.
• Do not reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by
the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).
NOTE
• Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant
burning pilot.
• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied
petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
