To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector
and a new AGA-certified connector. Failure to do so
can 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 can result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• The dryer is configured for LP(Liquefied Propane)
Gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure
that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner
orifice for the type of gas being used (Natural Gas
or Liquefied Petroleum). Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• If necessary, the correct orifice (For the Natural
orifice kit, order part number 383EEL3002K) should
be installed by a qualified technician and the
change should be noted on the dryer. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• All connections must be in accordance with local
codes and regulations. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
connecting the gas supply
1. Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry room is
turned OFF. Confirm that the type of gas available in
your laundry room is appropriate for the dryer. The
dryer is prepared for LP(Liquefied Propane) Gas with a
3

2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection
at the back of the dryer. Be careful not to damage
the threads of the gas connector when removing the
shipping cap.
3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room's gas supply
using a new flexible stainless steel connector with a
- inch NPT fitting.
4. Securely tighten all connections between the
dryer and your laundry room's gas supply. Turn on
your laundry room's gas supply and check all pipe
connections (both internal and external) for gas leaks
with a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.
