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 gas when shipped
from the factory. Make sure that the dryer is
equipped with the correct burner nozzle for the
type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas).
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the Natural
nozzle 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 may 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.
NOTE
• This dryer is configured from the factory for propane
(LP). If the dryer is to be used with natural gas (NG)
gas, it must be converted by a qualified service
technician.
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 Natural Gas with a
gas connection.
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.
