Gas ConnectionInformation
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to alter gas orifice or adjust
burner air shutter. Natural gas input may vary
in some areas from 700 to 1200 B.T.U. per cubic
foot. If gas orifice or burner air shutter are
incorrectly adjusted, serious personal injury and
/ or fire hazard can occur. Your local gas company
will know the qualities of the gas in your area.
Contact your local servicing dealer if burner
adjustment or orifice changes are necessary.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
Serious personal injury and / or a fire hazard can
result if an open flame is used to test for gas
leaks. Use a soap and water solution to test all

supply without installing conversion kit. All
Laundry Centers are shipped with a pressure
regulator and natural gas orifice. Using a natural
gas orifice with an L.P. gas supply can result in
personal injury, clothes damage, and / or a fire
hazard. Have a qualified gas technician install
a conversion kit in Laundry Center before use.
