DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; disassembly requires the attention and tools of an authorized and qualified service technician or company.
DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
Gas pressure must not exceed 26.7 cm water column for NG, or 33.1 cm water column for LP.
Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply at pressures greater than 3.5 kPa.
Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 0.5-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 6.1 m. Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 6.1 m.
To 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.
Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply line (in compliance with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 • CSA 6.10) with flexible stainless steel connectors.
Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.
