CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly
venting the dryer to the outdoors.

20 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecfing gasdryers
AWARNING
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 configured for use
with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefied
Propane) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of
water column.
. 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 arigid gas supply line to your
dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve
MUST be installed within at least 6ft. (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. AI/s-inch 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- inch IPS.
If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when
acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/s- 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).
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, explosion, or death.
. 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. 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.
.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.
.Use a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in Liquefied
Petroleum (LP) gas on all pipe threads. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
