Install Leveling Legs - Kenmore W10850308A Instructions D'installation

LP Gas Conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualifi ed technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas
specifi ed on the model/serial rating plate for use with a diff erent
gas without consulting your gas company.
IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the Nationl Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
If local codes permit, use a new fl exible stainless steel gas
■
connector (Design Certifi ed by the American Gas Association
or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas
supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" fl are x 3/8" NPT adapter
fi tting between the stainless steel gas connector and the dryer
gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.
Option 2 (Alternate Method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing
Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
■
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer.
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
■
lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
■
Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and
■
a diff erent size adapter fi tting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP
■
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), use larger pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Must include shut-off valve.
■
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within six
(6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location should be easy to reach
for opening and closing.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual manual
shutoff valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Use an elbow and a 3/8" fl are x 3/8" NPT adapter fi tting

between the fl exible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe,
as needed to avoid kinking.
Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m):
When installed above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m), a 4% reduction of
■
the burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate
is required for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
■
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than 1/2 psi.
DRYER GAS PIPE
The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer has
■
a 3/8" male pipe thread.
3/8" NPT dryer pipe
NOTE: For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must be an
additional 18" (460 mm) from the fl oor.
