a Note about dryers:
There are two dryer types – gas and electric. Similar
models look and perform the same, but differ in how they
are set up. Your decision between the two will depend on
where you will connect your new dryer: Gas – needs an approved gas line with
shut-off valve
Electric – needs a three-prong outlet
