Gas requirements

THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH
THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE
CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).
• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
• This dryer designed for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP gas (liquid propane), the
conversion must be done by a qualified service technician in order to achieve safe and proper performance.
• A 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8 inch (1 cm)
gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off
valve be installed within 6 inches of your dryer.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor.
•
• Additionally, a 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of the system.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the American Gas
•
Association (CGA in Canada).
• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION - Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant
•
burning pilot.

Commonwealth of massachusetts installation instructions

Your dryer must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A "T" handle manual gas valve must be installed in
the gas supply line to your dryer. If a flexible gas connector is used to install your dryer, the connector may not be
longer than 3 feet (36 inches).
WARNING
• Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
• Install and use it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent
Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting
can reduce drying time and save energy.
The Vent Blockage Test must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation
check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

Running the vent blockage test

1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door.
(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)
2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time
Dry level buttons for 3 seconds. "In" appears in the dryer's display. (If you have started other procedures
before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
