GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND

ORDINANCES

Fire Hazard

This dryer must be connected to a regulated gas

supply. Failure to do so could cause high-

pressure gas release, resulting in a fire or

explosion.

Have the L.P. gas checked by a qualified person

before installing the dryer. The L.P. gas supply

must not exceed a pressure of 13” water column.

New flexible tubing should be used.

Reusing old, flexible tubing might result in

possible leaks or fire hazard.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in

fire or explosion.

This installation must conform with American National

Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1 - latest

edition, and local codes and ordinances.

Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are

for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above

2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at a rate of 4%

for each 1,000 feet above sea level.

First make certain that this dryer is equipped with

the correct orifices for the particular type of gas used.

Check local utility for type of gas and BTU rating.

All gas dryers are manufactured with natural gas (Type

1) burner assemblies. In areas using mixed gas (Type

2) or manufactured gas (Type 3) it is necessary to use

replacement orifices as specified for the main burner.

Refer to service manual charts for determining correct

orifice sizes.

When converting the burner assembly to either butane

or propane (LP) gas, a special conversion kit is

required. Refer to service manual to determine

conversion kit or particular gas usage.

2. Provide a

gas

supply line of l/z” pipe to the dryer

location. (If dryer is to be used on LP gas, 3/” approved

copper tubing may be used.) If the total length of the

supply line is more than 20 feet, use larger pipe. Pipe

thread compounds suitable for the type gas should be

used.

3. The supply line should be equipped with a shut-off

valve. This valve should be located in the same room

as the dryer and should be in a location that allows ease

of opening and closing.

4. If the dryer is installed in a confined area such as

a bathroom or closet, consideration should be given to

provide enough air for combustion and ventilation.

(Check local codes and ordinances.)

GAS DRYER MODELS

5. Wall spacing (See page 6).

6. A l/B inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test

gage connection, must be installed immediately

upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

7. The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during

any pressure testing of that system at test pressures

in excess of l/2 psig (3.45 kPa). The dryer must be

isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing

the individual manual shutoff during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures

equal to or less than

112

psig (3.45 kPa).

8. If local codes permit, it is recommended flexible

metal tubing be used for connecting the appliance to

the gas supply line. (The gas feed pipe, which extends

through the lower rear of the appliance is provided with

a/” male pipe thread.) Reusing old flexible tubing might

result in a possible leak, fire hazard or explosion.

9. If a rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a

combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an

in-line connection to the dryer.

10.

Make sure the lower edges of the cabinet, plus the

back and bottom sides of the dryer are free of

obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air

openings for combustion air.

11.

For ease of installation, operation and servicing (if

ever needed) adequate space should be provided

around the dryer.

12. The wiring diagram is located inside the lower

access panel. See page 3 for instructions on opening

of the access panel.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND

ORDINANCES

A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 Ampere fused

electrical supply is required (time delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do Not modify the power supply cord

plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Do Not use an extension cord with this

appliance. Such use may result in a fire,

electrical shock or other personal injury.

Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding

circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit

could result in electrical shock.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in

a fire, electrical shock, or other personal injury.
