A Backdraft Damper, Part No. 58786 (obtain locally), 
should be installed in a 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter 
VERTICAL duct system. This will prevent a backdraft 
when dryer is not in use, and will keep the exhaust air 
in balance within the central exhaust system.
Step 3: (Gas Dryer Only) Connect Gas 
Supply Pipe
1. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with 
the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is 
equipped at the factory for Natural Gas with a 
3/8 inch NPT gas connection.
NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must 
conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in 
the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the 
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA-B149, National 
Gas Installation Code.
Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft

 (37.3 MJ/m

), service must 
be supplied at minimum 5.0 inch water column 
pressure to maximum 10.5 inch water column 
pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 2000 feet 
(610 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be 
reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to 
Table 2.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas 
connection at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you 
do not damage the pipe threads when removing 
the cap.
3. Connect to gas supply pipe.

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or 
explosion:
• The dryer must be connected to the type 
of gas as shown on nameplate located in 
the door recess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel 
connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P. 
(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape, 
on all pipe threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply 
line before connecting it to the dryer. 
Before tightening the connection, purge 
remaining air from gas line to dryer until 
odor of gas is detected. This step is 
required to prevent gas valve 
contamination.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas 
leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection 
fluid.
• Any disassembly requiring the use of 
tools must be performed by a suitably 
qualified service person.
