Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call thefire department.• Installation and service must be performed by aqualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.W052• Installation of unit must be performed by a qualifiedinstaller.• Install clothes dryer according to manufacturer’sinstructions and local codes.• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plasticventing materials. If flexible metal (foil type)duct is installed, it must be of a specific typeidentified by the appliance manufacturer as suitablefor use with clothes dryers. Refer to sectionon connecting exhaust system. Flexible ventingmaterials are known to collapse, be easily crushed,and trap lint. These conditions will obstructclothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.FOR YOUR SAFETYWARNINGDo not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors andliquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.W729R1W053The following information applies to the state of Massachusetts,USA.• This appliance can only be installed by a Massachusetts licensedplumber or gas fitter.• This appliance must be installed with a 36 inch [91 cm] longflexible gas connector.• A "T-Handle" type gas shut-off valve must be installed in thegas supply line to this appliance.• This appliance must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.Part No. 512061R8 © Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 3

Installation2. Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (referto the operation instructions). The dryer will start, the igniterwill glow red and the main burner will ignite.IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line,gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If thishappens, after approximately two minutes igniterwill again attempt gas ignition.3. After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes,observe burner flame through lower front panel.4. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (Alazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring,very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the airshutter as follows:a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellowtippedflame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtaina steady, soft blue flame.c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tightenthe air shutter lockscrew securely.5.
