Electrical Requirements for Gas Models

This dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazard that should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded.This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Gas Supply Requirements

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 10.5-inch (26.7 cm) water column for NG, or 13-inch (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. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/8-inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.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 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (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.

Connecting the Gas Supply

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. When using ball-type gas shut off valves, they must be T-handle-type. A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.The dryer is configured for natural gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle for the type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas).Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector and a new AGA-certified connector.A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.If necessary, the correct nozzle should be installed by a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer. (For the LP nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D.)All connections must be in accordance with local codes and regulations. The gas dryer must exhaust directly to the outdoors and not into a crawl space or attic.Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry room is turned OFF and the dryer is unplugged. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry room is appropriate for the dryer.Remove the shipping cap from the gas fitting at the back of the dryer. Be careful not to damage the threads of the gas connector when removing the shipping cap.Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply using a new flexible stainless steel connector with a 3/8-inch NPT fitting.DO NOT use old connectors.Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and your laundry room’s gas supply.Turn on your laundry room’s gas supply.Check all pipe connections (both internal and external) for gas leaks with a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.Proceed to Venting the Dryer.3/8” NPT gas ConnectionAGA/CSA-Certified Stainless Steel Flexible Connector1/8” NPT Pipe PlugGas Supply Shutoff ValveThe BTU rating of this dryer is AGA-certified for elevations below 10,000 feet.If your gas dryer is being installed at an elevation above 10,000 feet, it must be derated by a qualified technician or gas supplier.
