CONNECTING THE DRYER TO THE GAS SUPPLY
A) Connect female 3/8” NPT elbow to gas inlet on dryer. Then connect 3/8”
flare union adapter to female elbow.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the inlet from twisting,
please use a pipe wrench to
secure the dryer gas inlet. Affix
Teflon® tape or pipe compound
to adapter and gas inlet.
B) Attach the flexible metal gas line connector to the
adapter.
C) Make sure flexible gas line seal is secure. Use two
wrenches for the best possible connection.
D) To check gas inlet pressure, attach 1/8” NPT
plugged tapping to dryer gas line shut-off
valve. Then connect flare union adapter to
plugged tapping. Affix Teflon® tape to the
threads of the adapter and plugged tapping
to ensure seal.
E) Use two adjustable wrenches to tighten every connection.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten!
F) Open gas shut-off valve.
8. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer area is clean 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 through the louvered panel located on the rear of the dryer.
9. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.
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 to “Off” and wait 5 minutes before making another attempt to light.
NOTE: Follow instructons supplied with kit.
