Instalace (Nastavení)

This kit is designed to convert your dryer from using natural gas to liquid propane (LP) gas. The kit accommodates two different types of gas valves: K type and M type. It is crucial to identify the specific valve type on your dryer to use the correct parts from this kit.

  2. Access the Gas Valve: Depending on your dryer model, you may need to remove the back panel or other components to access the gas valve and regulator assembly. Refer to your dryer's specific service manual for detailed disassembly instructions.
  3. Určete typ ventilu: Carefully examine your dryer's gas valve to determine if it is a K type or M type. The kit instructions will provide guidance on distinguishing between these types.
  4. Select Kit Components: Based on your dryer's valve type, select the appropriate orifices, covers, and seals from the conversion kit. The kit contains parts for both valve types, but only one set will be used.
  5. Vyměňte otvory: Following the detailed instructions provided with this kit and your dryer's service manual, carefully remove the existing natural gas orifices and install the new LP gas orifices. Ensure all connections are secure.

Look for bubbles, which indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, immediately shut off the gas, tighten connections, and re-test. Do not proceed until all leaks are resolved.
  9. Obnovit napájení: Once gas connections are verified leak-free, plug the dryer back into its power source or restore the circuit breaker.
