Natural Gas:

This dryer is factory adjusted for use with NATURAL GAS (G20),

and no further adjustment should be required at installation.

L.P. Gas:

This dryer is also certified for use with L.P. (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 the

serving gas supplier.

Conversion must be done by a competent service technician.

Gas conversion kit, part number W10233219, is available for

purchase from your dealer. Full instructions are supplied with

the kit.

Natural gas (France/Belgium):

This dryer is also certified for France/Belgium for use with

G20/G25 gases (20 mbar/25 mbar) with appropriate conversion.

No attempt should be made to convert this appliance from the

gas specified on the gas rating label for use with a different gas

without consulting the serving gas supplier. Gas conversion must

be done by a qualified gas service technician. Conversion kit, part

number (W10181947) is available for purchase from your dealer.

Full instructions are supplied with the kit.

Supply line requirements:

Provide a rigid gas supply line to the dryer location. It should be

minimum 12.5 mm (1/2") ID. When acceptable to the gas supplier

and local codes, 10 mm (3/8") ID rigid supply line may be used

for lengths under 6.1 m (20'). Pipe-joint compounds resistant to

the action of L.P. gas must be used.

Gas connection to the dryer itself should be made by means of

a flexible gas hose suitable for the appliance and gas category

in accordance with national installation regulations. If in doubt,

contact the gas supplier. It should be minimum 10 mm (3/8") ID.

A means of restraint should be used between the appliance and

the wall to prevent straining of the rigid gas supply when the

appliance is moved. An appropriate length of chain and a wall

hook is recommended.

The dryer gas inlet connection is a 3/8" NPT thread. An adapter is

supplied for conversion to standard ISO.228-1 thread (3/8" BSP).

Check for leaks by using an approved noncorrosive leak-

detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak

found. A pressure measurement tapping is provided on the

gas valve within the dryer, accessible after removal of the lower

front panel.

The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of that system.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

■ Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room

meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified

in the national installation regulations. Make sure the room

containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas

combustion and drying operation. A window or equivalent

means of ventilation must be opened in the room when the

dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening includes an

adjustable louver, hinged panel, or other means of ventilation

that opens directly to outside air). Adequate ventilation has to

be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from

other fuel-burning appliances, including open fires (i.e. available

airflow into the room should match airflow out from the room).

■ The design of the flue system should be such that any condensate

formed when operating the dryer from cold shall either be retained

and subsequently re-evaporated or discharged. Following these

instructions should adequately meet this requirement.

■ The dryer vent must not be discharged into a flue which

is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or

other fuels, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a

building, or any other vent used for venting.

■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,

or floors.

■ 102 mm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or

secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend

into the interior of the vent and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent

to avoid sagging and kinking that will result in reduced airflow

and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and

insects from entering the building.

Exhaust hood must be at least 305 mm (12") from the ground

or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as

flowers, rocks, or bushes).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length

of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with

lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or

flexible metal vent.
