Connection of Gas Supply 

Make sure the burner nozzle is proper for the type of
gas you are provided with.
For instance, using LPG with LNG nozzle will result
in death, fire or explosion. Or using LNG with LPG
nozzle will not ignite burner.
If needed, nozzle conversion should be done by a
qualified service technician and mark or put the
label of  the current type of nozzle on the dryer.

Note

Burner input requirements

If your house is located at the elevation up to 10,000
feet. 
Adjusting burner input setting is not needed in this
elevation because A.G.A certifies this dryer will not
have any problem with the B.T.U rating at this altitude.  
If your house is above 10,000 feet, you are required to
adjust  a four percent(4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U
rating indicated on the model/serial rating plate.
