GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS ■■ Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to avoid kinking. ■■ Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON® tape. ■■ This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a 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 burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate is required for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation. INSTALL LEVELING LEGS 1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs 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 gas pipe *NOTE: If the dryer is mounted on a pedestal, the gas pipe height must be an additional 10" (254 mm) or 15.5" (394 mm) from the floor, depending on the pedestal model. For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must be an additional 18" (460 mm) from the floor. 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. 2. Screw in leveling legs Diamond marking Examine leveling legs and locate the diamond marking. Screw legs into leg holes by hand - use a wrench to finish turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the two dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent. 10
