Gas Connection For Gas Dryers; Replacement Parts - GE 131892900 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Gas Connection for Gas Dryers

Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the
1
rear of the dryer.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to LP gas service
without converting the gas valve. An LP conversion
kit (Pub. No. 14-A038) MUST be installed by a
qualified gas technician.
Connect a 1/2 (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid
2
or approved pipe from gas supply line to
the 3/8 (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back
of the dryer. Use a 1/2 to 3/8 (1.27 cm to
0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply an
approved thread sealer that is resistant to the
corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe
connections.
Before Operating the Dryer
Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust
1
system. Use duct tape to seal all joints.
With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or
2
more of the legs until the dryer is resting solidly
on all four legs. Place a level on top of the dryer.
THE DRYER MUST BE LEVEL AND RESTING
SOLIDLY ON ALL FOUR LEGS. Turn the lock nuts
on each of the four legs up toward the base of
the dryer and snug with a 1/2 open-end
wrench.
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
3
NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into the outlet.
Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse
4
box.

Replacement Parts

If replacement parts are needed for your dryer,
contact the source where you purchased your dryer.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can
cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING: Destroy the carton and plastic bags
after the parts are unpacked. Children might
use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all
materials in a garbage container or make
materials inaccessible to children.
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
3
Test all connections by brushing on a soapy
4
water solution.
CAUTION: NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH
AN OPEN FLAME.
NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light,
it is necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If
the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first
time the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will
shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the dryer
off and wait 5 minutes before making another
attempt to light.
CAUTION: Before operating the dryer, make
sure the dryer area is clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors. Also see that nothing
(such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper
5
operation.
Place these instructions in a location near the
6
dryer for future reference.
WARNING: The instructions in the manual and
all other literature included with this dryer are
not meant to cover every possible condition
and situation that may occur. Good safe
practice and caution MUST be applied when
installing, operating and maintaining any
appliance.
