Incorrectly connecting your dryer’s grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is correctly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the correct type
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done
in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

ANSI/Z2231 - Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA - B149 Installation Codes - Latest Revision (for Canada)
and local codes and ordinances.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18" (46 cm) above the floor.
Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer’s gas supply connection.
The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during pressure testing at pressures
greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
On dryers not equipped with a gas union in the dryer manifold, the instructions shall specify that a listed
connector in compliance with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 - CSA 6.10 be used
to connect the dryer to the supply piping.
