MAKE GAS CONNECTION
1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.
Move the dryer close to its final position.
2. Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas
supply to the dryer. Use pipe joint com-
pound on all non-flared male threads. If
flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there
are no kinks.
NOTE: For L.P. gas connections, you
must use pipe joint compound resistant to
the action of L.P. gas. Do not use TEFLON
tape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be
used to connect the dryer to the existing
gas line. Shown following is a recom-
mended connection. Your connection may
be different, according to the supply line
type, size, and location.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line.
The valve is open when the handle is
parallel to the gas pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an
approved noncorrosive leak-detection

solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct
any leak found.
CONNECT VENT
1. Using a 4" (10.2-cm) clamp, connect vent
to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to
existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
The dryer vent must fit over the dryer
exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood.
Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust
hood with a 4" (10.2-cm) clamp.
