manometer is not available, test all connections by
brushing on a soapy water solution.

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 lique
fi
ed
gases on all pipe connections.

IMPORTANT
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shuto

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 shuto
ff
valve.
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 quali
