Installation requirements Installation requirements 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 • Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot. • 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. Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation instructions Your dryer must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A "T" handle manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to your dryer. If a flexible gas connector is used to install your dryer, the connector can be no longer than 3' (36"). WARNING • Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation. • Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. • Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector. • Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 16 English DV5500M_03381G_EN.indd 16 12/26/2016 11:01:59 AM
