Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with
Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas.
When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2" IPS.
When acceptable to the gas supplier and local
codes, 3/8" approved tubing may be used for
lengths under 20 ft.(6.1 m). For lengths over
20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing should be used.
Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of
L.P. gas must be used. An individual manual
shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m)
of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only,
15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is required.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker and a separate
circuit are recommended.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Four inch (10.2 cm) diameter vent is
required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must
be used. Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from
the ground or any object that may be in the path
of the exhaust.
Water: The dryer must be connected to the cold
water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old
hoses. Do not over tighten. Damage to the
coupling can result.
