G. GAS INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to ensure that the
gas plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to 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 Canadian Installation Codes
CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST
EDITION.
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 shutoff 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 shutoff valve during any pressure test of the
gas supply piping 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 DUE TO FAILURE OF
ISOLATING OR DISCONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY AS NOTED.
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 Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1 M91 (Natural
Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) 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/gas indicated on the dryer data label. If this information
does not agree with the type of gas available, DO NOT operate the dryer. Contact the dealer who sold
the dryer or contact 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 (610 meters), unless
elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) 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
(610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the dealer
who sold the dryer or contact the Maytag Co.
