Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the
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
or approved pipe from gas supply line to
the 3/8(0.96 cm) pipe located on the back
of the dryer. Use a 1/2to 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.
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
Test all connections by brushing on a soapy
water solution.
WARNING: 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 timer
to OFF and wait 5 minutes before making another
attempt to light.
