manometer is not available, test all connections by
brushing on a soapy water solution.
3 Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to
allow gas to fl ow through the pipe. Wait a few
minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
2 Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or
approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch
(0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer.
Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm)
reducer for the connection. Apply an approved
thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive
action of liquefi ed gases on all pipe connections.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD

IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without
converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must
be installed by a qualifi ed gas technician.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the dryer and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the gas shutoff valve.
