The design of this dryer has been certified by CSA International
for use at altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 m) above sea level at
the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated up to
this elevation.
When installed above 10,000 feet (3048 m), a four percent (4%)
reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial
plate is required for each 1,000 foot (305 m) increase in elevation.
For assistance when converting to other gas types and/or
installing above 10,000 feet (3048 m) elevation, contact your
local service company.
Type of Gas
This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-
certified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases
with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert
the dryer from the gas specified on the serial/rating plate for use
with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

Gas Supply
Line
Recommended
method
[]
Provide a gas supply line of 1/2"rigid (IPS) pipe to the dryer
location. Pipe joint compounds
that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON _'t tape with LP gas.
Minimum tubing diameter for LP gas is 1/2".Usually, LP gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
Alternate
method
[]
The gas supply may also be connected using %" approved
copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply
line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used.
Flexible metal appliance
connector:
[]
It is recommended
that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified
by CSA International, be used for connecting
the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends
through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with %" mate
pipe thread.)
[]
Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings
to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
[]
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,
an individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA
B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2. This valve should be located
in the same room as the dryer. It should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas
to the dryer.
