TO reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• Gas supply
requirements:
As shipped
from the factory,
this dryer is config-
ured for use with (NG) natural gas. It can be con-
verted for use with LP (Liquefied
Propane) gas. Gas
pressure
must not exceed 8-in. water column for
(NG), or 13-in. water column for (LP).
. A qualified
service
or gas company
technician
must
connect
the dryer to the gas service. Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system
by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Supply
line requirements:
Your laundry
room must have a rigid gas supply
line to your dryer. In the United States, an individ-
ual 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. A 1/8-in.
NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2-in.
IPS. If acceptable
under local codes and ordinances
and when acceptable
to your gas supplier, 3/8-in.
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). Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the
nameplate.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death.
• To prevent contamination
of the gas valve, purge
the gas supply of air and sediment before connect-
ing 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. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks.
Use a noncorrosive
leak detection
fluid. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified
gas supply
line with flexible
stainless steel connectors.
Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Securely tighten
all gas connections.
Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Use Teflon _"_ tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble
in Liquefied
Petroleum
(LP) gas on all
pipe threads.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly
of the dryer; any
disassembly
requires
the attention
and tools of an
authorized
and qualified
service person or company.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• The power cord of this dryer is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a stan-
dard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appli-
ance. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire,

explosion, or death.
This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz.
grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere
fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to follow this warning can result
in fire, explosion, or death.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encoun-
tered, it is your personal responsibility
and obliga-
tion to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
