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.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. Gas
conversion kit part numbers are listed on the gas valve burner
base.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
■
For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power
supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Recommended Ground Method
■ In U.S.: It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical
installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
■ In Canada: It is your responsibility to install the dryer in
accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
installation codes and all national or local codes.
Canadian models are equipped with a four-wire, 30-amp rated
flexible-type power cord. The power cord must be plugged
into a mating 30-amp receptacle.
