Kenmore 11098762790 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions page 25

• Make certain this laundry center has the
correct burner for the type of gas in your
home. Burner information is located on
the rating plate in the door welt 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 gas supply of 1/2-inch pipe
to your laundry center.
• If your laundry center 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.
• This laundry center is equipped with its
own permanent, flexible gas connector,
design-certified by the American Gas
Association, for connecting the laundry
center to the gas supply line.

accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream
of the gas supply connection to the
laundry center.

ventilation, the laundry center instal-
lation should adhere to the minimum
recommended clearances. See page 17.
• For mobile home installation, see
page 18 for more instructions.
• The laundry center must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in
