This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-

certied by CSA International for LP (propane and butane)

gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made

to convert dryer from gas specied on serial/rating plate for use

with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.

Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner

base.

Type of Gas

DRYER GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Recommended Method

Provide a gas supply line of 1⁄2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to

dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP

gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

®†

tape. With LP gas,

piping or tubing size can be 1⁄2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP

gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for

gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of

the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The

dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system

during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in

excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m

2

).

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3⁄8" (10 mm)

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 action of type of gas supplied must

be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off

valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance

with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should

be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location

that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access

to shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off

valve must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation

codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Gas Supply Line

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new exible stainless steel gas line,

design-certied 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 3⁄8"

(10 mm) male pipe thread.)

NOTE: Do not kink or damage the exible stainless steel gas

line when moving the door.

Rigid Pipe Connection

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe ttings

to obtain an in-line connection to dryer.

power cord, if the cord does not pull out of the washer rear

panel easily, do not force it. Remove the washer rear panel

and guide the power cord around the obstruction and out

the hole on the left side of the rear panel.

5. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

Remove Transport System

NOTE: Slide washer/dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before

moving to avoid damaging oor covering.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer/dryer so that the rear of

the washer is within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its nal

There are 4 shipping bolts in the rear panel of the washer that

support the suspension system during transportation. These

bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the

bolts are removed.

1. Keep the washer/dryer in the upright position while removing

the shipping bolts.

2. Using a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

3. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole

and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer

covering the bolt. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the

bolts and spacers.
