MAKE GAS CONNECTION
U.S.A. AND CANADA
_. Connect gas supply to dryer -_
Flared
male fitting
Non-flared
male fitting
Remove red cap from gas pipe. Using a wrench to tighten,
connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound
on threads of all non-flared male fittings, if flexible metal
tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe-joint
compound resistant to action of LP gas. Do not use
TEFLON ®t tape.
2. Plan pipe fitting connection
A. 3/8" flexible gas connector C. 3/8" to 3/8" pipe elbow
B. 3/8" dryer pipe D. 3/8" pipe-to-flare adapter fitting
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect dryer
to existing gas line. A recommended connection is shown. Your
connection may be different, according to supply line type,
size, and location.
3. Open shut-off valve
CIosed_
Open valve
Open shut-off valve in supply line; valve is open when handle
is parallel to gas pipe. Then, test all connections by brushing
on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles
wJJJshow a leak. Correct any leaks found.

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
[] Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
[] Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
[] Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
[] Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
[] Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may
result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
[] Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
[] The total length should not exceed 73/4 ft. (2.4 m).
[] The length of flexible metal vent used must be included in
the overall vent system design as shown in the "Vent System
Charts."
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not piugged with
lint. Replace piastJc or metal foii vents with rigid metal or fiexJbie
metal vents. Review Vent System Chart and if necessary, modify
existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
