Make Gas Connection
1. Remove the red cap from the gas
pipe. Move the dryer to its final
position.
2, Using a wrench to tighten, connect the
gas supply to the dryer. Use pipe joint
compound on all non41ared male
threads. If flexible metal tubing is
used, be sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For L.R gas connections, you
must use pipe joint compound resistant to
the action of L.R 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.
