Part 3 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
(Gas dryer only). In addition to the following,
please refer to manual section on Gas Requirements
and Instructions.
1. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry
room is appropriate for the dryer. The dryer is prepared
for Natural Gas with a 3/8" NPT gas connection.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection at the
back of the dryer. Make sure that you don’t damage the
threads of the gas connection pipe when you remove the
shipping cap.
3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply
using a new flexible stainless steel connector (as noted
below, use a new stainless steel flexible connector if
allowed by your local codes).
4. Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and
your laundry room’s gas supply. Turn on your laundry
room’s gas supply and check all pipe connections (both
internal and external) for gas leaks with a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid. Refer to Part 7 (page 20)
5. For LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas connection, refer to
this manual’s section entitled Gas Requirements and
Instructions.
1. New stainless steel flexible connector. Use this type of
connector only if allowed by local codes. Use Design AGA
Certified Connector.
2. 1/8" NPT Pipe Plug (for checking inlet gas pressure)
3. Equipment Shut-Off Valve
Installed within 6’ (1.8 m) of dryer.
4. Iron Pipe. Shorter than 20’ (6.1 m)
Use 3/8" pipe.
Longer than 20’ (6.1 m) - Use 1/2" pipe.
5. 3/8" N.P.T. Gas Connection.
Following are several warnings and instructions
concerning making the electrical connection for electric
dryers. More detailed information concerning the
electrical connection is provided in the manual section
entitled Electrical Requirements for Electric Dryer.
It is important that you thoroughly review that section
and the remainder of this manual, before taking any
steps to install or use this dryer.
1. Use only a new UL listed No. 10 (copper wire only)
three conductor power supply cord kit rated 240
Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes and labeled as suitable
for use in a clothes dryer.
2. A four-wire cord is required for manufactured
(mobile) home installations and where local codes do
not allow grounding of this appliance through
neutral.
3. Electrical Plug Connections.
4. For additional instruction on connecting the dryer to
an electrical power source, please refer to this
manual’s section on Electrical Requirements and
Electric Dryer.

STEP 4 Connection of Gas Supply
Make sure the burner orifice is proper for the type of
gas you have.
For instance, using LPG with LNG orifice will result
in death, fire or explosion. Or using LNG with LPG
nozzle will not allow the burner to ignite.
If needed, orifice conversion should be done by a
qualified service technician and mark or put the
label of the current type of orifice on the dryer.
If changing the orifice, also adjust the gas valve.
Note
Burner input requirements
If your house is located at the elevations up to
10,000 feet.
Adjusting burner input setting is not needed at this
elevation because AGA certifies this dryer will not have
any problem with the BTU 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 BTU
rating indicated on the model/serial rating plate.
