• The design of this dryer has been certi-
fied by the American Gas A.,;sociation
for use at altitudes up to 10,000 feet
above sea level at the B.T.U. rating
indicated on the model/serial number
plate. Burner input adjustments are not
required when the dryer is operated
up to this level.
• When installed above 10,000 feet,
a four percent (4%) reduction of the
burner B.T.U. rating shown on the
model/serial number plate is required
for each 1,000 foot increase in eleva-
tion. For assistance when converting
to other gas types and/or installing
above 10,000 feet elevation contact
your local service company.
• Make certain your dryer has the
correct burner for the type of gas
in your home. Burner information
is located on the rating plate in
the door well of your dryer. If this
information does not agree with the
type of gas available, contact your
local Sears store or Sears Service
Center. Any change to the burner
must be made by a qualified installer.
• Provide a rigid gas supply line of
l/z-inch pipe to your dryer.
• If you are using natural gas, do not
use copper tubing.
• If your dryer has been converted to
use L.P. gas, 3/8-inch L.P.-compatible
copper tubing may be used. If the
total length of the supply line is more
than 20 feet, use larger pipe. Pipe
joint compounds that resist the action
of L.P. gas must be used. Do not use
Teflon tape.
