Gas Supply Requirements

Gas type

Natural gas:
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.

Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas

in your home. Burner information is located on the rating

plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does

not agree with the type of gas available, please reference the

“Assistance or Service” section of the “Use and Care Guide.”

LP gas conversion:
Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas

specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different

gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes,

or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

2.

Using a wrench and tape measure, screw legs into leg holes

until bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) (to match

height of 3.6 cu. ft. capacity washer) or 1½" (38 mm) (to

match height of 3.8 cu. ft. capacity washer) from bottom of

dryer.

Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is

close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical

connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation

Hold-down Kit. For ordering information, please reference the

“Use and Care Guide.”
