G. GAS INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the gas
plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such
codes, ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the installation must conform to
applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P.

IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CODES or ORDINANCES, and/or
REQUIREMENTS IN THIS MANUAL, CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY and IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE DRYER.
The dryer and its individual shut-off valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable
damage to the gas valve which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
WARNING: FIRE or EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
1. Gas Supply
The gas dryer installation must meet the American National Standard: National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1-LATEST EDITION , or in Canada, the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODES PARTS 1 & 2
CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION , as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a
qualified professional.
NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition problems, slow drying, increased use of energy, and
can create a safety hazard.
The dryer must be connected to the type of heat or gas indicated on the dryer label affixed behind the top
control door. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, DO NOT operate the
dryer. Contact the Maytag distributor who sold the dryer or the Maytag Co.
IMPORTANT: Any burner changes or conversions must be made by a qualified professional.
The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, unless elevation require-
ments of over 2,000 feet were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The
adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet are made by changing each
burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the Maytag distributor who sold the dryer or contact
the Maytag Co. factory.
