Instalación (Configuración)
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.
Pasos xerais de instalación:
- Preparación para a instalación: Ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply valve is shut off. Move the dryer to an area with adequate space for access.
- 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.
- Identify Valve Type: 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.
- 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.
- Substituír os orificios: 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.
- Apply LP Gas Rating Labels: It is mandatory to apply both LP gas rating labels. Position one label on the dryer's door frame and the other near the gas valve bracket. These labels indicate the dryer has been converted to LP gas.
- Reassemble and Reconnect: Reassemble any dryer components that were removed. Reconnect the gas supply line to the dryer.
- Comprobar fugas: Slowly turn on the main gas supply valve. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution (e.g., soapy water) to all gas connections. 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.
- Restaurar enerxía: Once gas connections are verified leak-free, plug the dryer back into its power source or restore the circuit breaker.
- Proba de funcionamento: Run a short cycle on the dryer to ensure proper operation with LP gas.
