STEAM DRYER
GAS CONVERSION (Natural to Propane) continued
2. Replace the orifice. (See photo, previous page.)
You’ll have to remove the top plate and front cover to change the orifice. It is
much easier if you remove the tub front and drum as well.
Installing the correct orifice is critical! This should be performed ONLY by trained,
licensed, and certified service personnel.
3. The conversion kit includes a propane orifice, complete instructions for
making the conversion, and a label indicating the conversion kit has
been installed. All conversion work, including testing and adjusting, must
be completed by a trained, licensed, and certified gasfitter.
4. Be sure to retain the original orifice in the event that the dryer should be
converted back to natural gas. Put it into the plastic bag for the original
orifice and tape it to the inside of the dryer cabinet next to the tech sheet.
Gas Pressure Testing
There is a port on the gas valve assembly
that allows checking the pressure.
Remove the brass screw on the test port
and attach a manometer to read the gas
pressure.
(The screw is already removed in the
photo.)
