Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to 
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a 
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer 
exhaust opening.

■

A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical 
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is 
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit 
serving only this dryer be provided.

This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-
certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases 
with appropriate conversion.

■

Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in 
your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate 
in the door well of your dryer. If this information does not 
agree with the type of gas available, contact your dealer or 
call the phone numbers referenced on the front page of the 
Dryer User Instructions. 

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas 
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different 
gas without consulting your gas company.

permit.

■

If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

■

Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a 
different size adapter fitting.

■

If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 

³⁄₈" LP 

compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of 
the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: 

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or 
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock 
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. 
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must 
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes 
and ordinances.

WARNING: 

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative 
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is 
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the 
dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed 
by a qualified electrician.
