Installation Gas requirements WARNING • Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases. • THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA). • Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper performance by a qualified service technician. • A 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6" of your dryer. • Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (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. • Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of the system. • DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada). NOTE • Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas. • As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will Inspect a gas appliance installation. NOTE GAS IGNITION: Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot. %7+2@&/64JOEE English 17
