Propane Gas Conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting your gas company.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas
I
connector (Design Certified 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" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter
fitting 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
I
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer.
1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
I
3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
I
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.
I
Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and
I
a different size adapter fitting.
If your dryer has been converted to use propane gas, 3/8"
I
propane 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 propane
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Must include shut-off valve.
I
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" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting
I
between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe,
as needed to avoid kinking.
Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON
I
This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a
I
listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard
for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.

BURNER INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 m):
When installed above 2,000 ft. (610 m), a 4% reduction of the
I
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
I
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
I
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 floor.
INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
1.
Prepare dryer for leveling legs
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay
dryer down on cardboard.
