Turn on the gas and reconnect dryer to
power. Run the dryer in a heat cycle. Read
the manometer with the burner ON, (check
for gas leaks).
When the gas is on, the amount of water
column present is equal to the total amount
of deflection shown in the manometer.
Once the test is completed, make sure the
tapered fitting is removed from the gas
valve and the plug is repositioned into the
gas valve and resealed with pipe seal.
Check for gas leaks again with a soap or
bubble solution. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
IF HIGH WATER COLUMN PRESSURE IS
DETECTED: the gas flame can damage
the flame spreader on the burner. (This can
be caused by the wrong orifice, improper air
mixture or high gas pressure. If pressure
is higher than expected, contact the local
gas utilities company to check the outside
regulator.
