Electrical: A 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz,

AC-only electrical supply on a separate 30-amp circuit,

fused on both sides of the line is required. A time-delay

fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an

individual branch circuit.

Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside.

4" (10.16 cm) diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible

heavy metal exhaust vent must be used. The total length

of flexible metal vent should not exceed 7-3/4 ft. (2.4 m).

Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood

must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any

object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural

gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for LP

(propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion.

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from

the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use

with a different gas without consulting your gas company.

Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping

accessible for test gauge connection, immediately

upstream of the gas connection to the dryer.

REQUIREMENTS

1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.

3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable

for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas

supplier permit.

If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a

different size adapter fitting.

If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP

compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length

of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger

pipe.

NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP

gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®tape.*

Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting

between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas

pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.

This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with

a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the

standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24

or CSA 6.10.
