6. Operating Instructions

After successful conversion and verification by a qualified technician:

• Ensure the LP gas supply valve is fully open.
• Operate the dryer according to its original manufacturer's instructions.
• Observe the flame for proper combustion (a steady blue flame). If the flame is yellow or erratic, immediately shut off the gas supply and contact a qualified technician.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your dryer and its gas components is crucial for safe and efficient operation. This kit itself requires no specific user maintenance beyond ensuring proper installation and leak-free connections.

• Periodically inspect gas connections for any signs of leaks or damage.
• Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of obstructions and flammable materials.
• Refer to your dryer's main instruction manual for general maintenance procedures.

8. Troubleshooting

If your dryer is not functioning correctly after the conversion, consider the following:

• No Gas Flow: Check if the LP gas supply valve is fully open and if there is gas in the tank.
• Improper Flame: If the burner flame is not a steady blue, it may indicate an issue with the gas pressure or orifice. Immediately shut off the gas supply and contact a qualified technician.
• Dryer Not Heating: Verify all electrical connections are secure and that the dryer is receiving power. If the issue persists, contact a qualified service technician.

For any issues related to gas supply or combustion, always contact a certified gas appliance technician.
