ENGLISH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 19 Connecting Gas Dryers wWarning To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Gas supply requirements: As shipped from the factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of water column. • A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1⁄₈ - inch NPT pipe plug must be installed. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be ½ - inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3⁄₈ - inch approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • C onnect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • T o prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • D O NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • U se only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply line with flexible stainless steel connectors. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • S ecurely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • D O NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; any disassembly requires the attention and tools of an authorized and qualified service person or company. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. • U se a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas on all pipe threads. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. Electrical requirements for gas models only wWarning To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death. • This dryer must be plugged into a 60 Hz, 120 VAC, grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death. • For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death. • The power cord of this dryer is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death. • Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death. MFL67731056_en_150715.indd 19 2015.7.15 3:38:46 PM
