Replacement Parts

If replacement parts are needed for your dryer,

contact the source where you purchased your dryer.

CAUTION:

Label all wires prior to disconnection

when servicing controls. Wiring errors can

cause improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

WARNING:

Destroy the carton and plastic bags

after the parts are unpacked. Children might

use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,

bedspreads or plastic sheets can become

airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all

materials in a garbage container or make

materials inaccessible to children.

WARNING:

The instructions in the manual and

all other literature included with this dryer are

not meant to cover every possible condition

and situation that may occur. Good safe

practice and caution MUST be applied when

installing, operating and maintaining any

appliance.

Gas Connection for Gas Dryers

Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the

rear of the dryer.

NOTE: DO NOT

connect the dryer to LP gas service

without converting the gas valve. An LP conversion

kit (Pub. No. 14-A038) MUST be installed by a

qualified gas technician.

Connect a 1/2

(1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid

or approved pipe from gas supply line to

the 3/8

(0.96 cm) pipe located on the back

of the dryer. Use a 1/2

to 3/8

(1.27 cm to

0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply an

approved thread sealer that is resistant to the

corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe

connections.

Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
Test all connections by brushing on a soapy

water solution.

CAUTION: NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH
AN OPEN FLAME.

NOTE:

On gas dryers, before the burner will light,

it is necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If

the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first

time the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will

shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the dryer

off and wait 5 minutes before making another

attempt to light.

CAUTION:

Before operating the dryer, make

sure the dryer area is clear and free from
