Connecting the Gas Supply
• Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency, or the
gas supplier. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible
connector and a new AGA-certified connector.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.
(1.8 m) of the dryer. Failure to do so may result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• 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). Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the LP
nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D)
should be installed by a qualified technician
and the change should be noted on the dryer.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• All connections must be in accordance with
local codes and regulations. Failure to do so may
result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
NOTE
This dryer is configured from the factory for
natural gas (NG). If the dryer is to be used with
propane (LP) gas, it must be converted by a
qualified service technician.
