Gas Type
Natural Gas:
This laundry center is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is
design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane)
gases with appropriate conversion.
• Your laundry center must have 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.
LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting your gas company.

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the laundry center (see illustration).
• r/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
• %" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.

• Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.
• Gas supply line coupling must be 34" (86.4 cm) to 37" (94 cm)
from the floor.
The design of this laundry center is certified by CSA
International for use at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)
above sea level at the Btu rating indicated on the model/serial
number plate. Burner input adjustments are not required
when the dryer is operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 m):
• When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of
the burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate
is required for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
• The laundry center must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during pressure testing at pressures
greater than 1/2psi.
Dryer gas connection

flexible gas connector, design-certified by CSA International,
for connecting the laundry center to the gas supply line.
