4. Поставување и инсталација

4.1 Чекори пред инсталација

1. Ensure the dryer is disconnected from the electrical supply and the natural gas supply valve is closed.
2. Verify that the area is well-ventilated.
3. Gather necessary tools, which may include wrenches, screwdrivers, and a gas leak detection solution.
4. Locate the dryer's gas valve and burner assembly. Refer to your dryer's specific service manual for detailed component locations.

4.2 Постапка за конверзија

1. Replace Orifice: Carefully remove the existing natural gas orifice from the burner assembly. Install the new LP gas orifice, size #53, provided in this kit. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent leaks.
2. Adjust Pressure Regulator: Locate the gas pressure regulator on the dryer's gas valve. Adjust the regulator for LP gas operation. The manifold pressure for LP gas should be set to 10.5 inches Water Column (W.C.). The inlet pressure should be between 8.5 inches W.C. (minimum) и 11.5 inches W.C. (maximum). Consult your dryer's service manual for specific regulator adjustment instructions.
3. Apply Conversion Labels: Affix the provided conversion labels to the dryer. One label should be placed near the existing rating plate, and another on the control panel, as indicated by the label instructions. These labels confirm the dryer has been converted to LP gas. Fill in the date of conversion, kit number (458P3), and the name and address of the converting organization or individual.
4. Тест за истекување: After reassembling the dryer and reconnecting the LP gas supply, perform a thorough leak test on all gas connections using a non-corrosive leak detection solution. Bubbles indicate a leak. Tighten connections as needed and retest until no leaks are detected.
5. Потврдете ја операцијата: Reconnect electrical power. Turn on the LP gas supply. Operate the dryer through a full cycle to ensure proper ignition and heating. Observe the flame for proper appearance (blue, stable flame).

5. Упатства за работа

After successful conversion and verification, operate your dryer according to its original operating manual. The primary change is the type of gas used. Always ensure proper ventilation and never operate the dryer if you detect a gas odor.

6. Одржување

Regular maintenance of your LP gas dryer is similar to a natural gas dryer. Periodically:

• Inspect the gas supply line and connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
• Clean the lint filter before or after every load.
• Ensure the exhaust vent is clear of obstructions to maintain proper airflow and prevent fire hazards.
• For any issues related to gas components, contact a qualified service technician.

7 Смена на проблеми

If your dryer experiences issues after conversion, consider the following:

• No Heat or Weak Heat: Verify the LP gas supply is open and the tank is not empty. Check that the gas pressure regulator is correctly set to 10.5" W.C.
• Мирис на гас: Immediately turn off the gas supply and disconnect power. Do not operate the dryer. Ventilate the area and contact a qualified service technician or your gas provider. Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself with an open flame.
• Сушарата не се вклучува: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and the dryer door is properly closed. This is typically not related to gas conversion.

For persistent problems, consult a qualified appliance technician.
