STEP 4 Connection of Gas
Supply
Make
sure
the burner orifice is proper for the
type
of
gas you have.
For
instance, using
LPG with LNG orifice will result
in
death,
fire
or
explosion.
Or
using
LNG with LPG
nozzle will not allow the burner to
ignite.
If
needed,
orifice conversion should be done
by
a
qualified
service technician and mark
or
put
the
label of the current
type
of orifice
on
the dryer.
If
changing the orifice, also adjust the gas valve.
Note
Burner input requirements
If your house is located at the elevations up to
10,000
feet.
Adjusting burner input setting is not needed at this
elevation because AGA certifies this dryer will not have
any
problem
with the BTU
rating
at this altitude.
If your house is above 10,000 feet,
you are
required
to
adjust
a
four
percent (4%)
reduction of the burner BTU
rating
indicated
on
the model/serial
rating plate.
