Connecting the Gas Supply

• 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.

  Warning

  • 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.
