GAS REQUIREMENTS

Use only Natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.

THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL

CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE

UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).

Gas dryers are equipped with a burner orifice for operation on NATURAL gas. If the dryer is to be

operated on LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper performance and

must be converted by a qualified service technician. Conversion kits from NATURAL to LP, or LP to

NATURAL are available through your local Amana dealer (see Accessories). If other conversions are

required, check with the local gas utility for specific information concerning conversion requirements.

A 1/2” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8” (1.0 cm)

gas line on the dryer.

The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut off valve be

installed within 6 feet of the dryer.

Gas Dryers installed in residential garages must be elevated 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor.

Additionally, a 1/8” (.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge

connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system.

DO NOT re-use old flexible metal gas line. Flexible gas line must be design certified by American Gas

Association (CGA in Canada). NOTE: Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of

any liquefied petroleum gas.

NOTE: As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.

GAS IGNITION –

This dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot.
