Installation Instructions CONNECTING A GAS DRYER (skip for electric dryers) (cont.) TEST FOR LEAKS Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all connections for leaks with soapy solution or equivalent. Apply a soap solution. The leak test solution must not contain ammonia, which could cause damage to the brass fittings. If leaks are found, close the valve, retighten the joint and repeat the soap test. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION FOR GAS DRYERS (cont.) The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and be connected to a properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet these requirements, it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed electrician install a properly grounded 3-prong outlet. Open Gas Valve ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION FOR GAS DRYERS WARNING - Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. DO NOT remove ground prong. DO NOT use an adapter. DO NOT use an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock. Ensure proper ground exists before use.
