Step 1
Make sure that your outlet and dryer requirements are the same. Most new gas dryers are 117 volts.
-
Step 2
Check to make sure the vent hole on the dryer is compatible with the vent hole in your home. If it is not, you will have to make a new hole or get a different dryer.

Turn off the breaker or breakers feeding the dryer outlet.
-
Step 4
Be sure that the floor is clean and dry.
-
Step 5
Shut off the gas feeding the line.

Mix a solution of 50 percent water and 50 percent dishwashing liquid.

Step 9
Turn the gas off, back the connector off and retighten it if you discover a leak.

Step 10
Fasten the vent hose to the duct leading outside with a hose clamp - a circular metal ring that resembles a tie wrap with a bolt on top.
-
Step 11
Plug the dryer in and move it into place, hooking up the vent hose when you can reach it.
-
Step 12
Use a hose clamp to fasten the hose to the dryer's exhaust port. Keep the vent hose as short as possible to reduce drying time.
-
Step 13
Push the dryer the rest of the way into the space, being careful not to crimp the hose. Leave a couple inches of space on both sides of the unit to allow for circulation.
-
Step 14
Turn on the breaker and gas.
