Turn on the gas and reconnect dryer to
power. Run the dryer in a heat cycle. Read
the manometer with the flame on.
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 valve is closed by turning the
slotted adjustment screw clockwise until
tight.
Check for gas leaks 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 local gas
utilities company to check outside regulator.
