Whirlpool W10471647B - SP ユーザーズマニュアル

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 in the “Assistance or Service” 
section.  

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.

■

Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible 

 

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas 
connection to the dryer. See illustration.

■

1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.

■

3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for 
lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier 
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. 

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas 
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
