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 timer
to OFF and wait 5 minutes before making another
attempt to light.

Before Operating the Dryer
Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust
system. Use duct tape to seal all joints.
With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or
more of the legs until the dryer is resting solidly
on all four legs. Place a level on top of the dryer.
THE DRYER MUST BE LEVEL AND RESTING
SOLIDLY ON ALL FOUR LEGS.
Turn the lock nuts
on each of the four legs up toward the base of the
dryer and snug with a 1/2 ″ open-end wrench.
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE:
Check to ensure the power is off at circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into the outlet.
Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/
fuse box.
CAUTION: Before operating the dryer, make
sure the dryer area is clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors. Also see that nothing
(such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper
operation.
If your dryer does not operate, please review the
Troubleshooting Tips
section in this manual before
calling for service.
Place these instructions in a location near the
dryer for future reference.
