ENERGY SAVING TIPS
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
ABOVE 2,000 FEET
(610 M)
1. Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting.
Turned elbows and long vent tubing tend to increase drying
time. Longer drying time means the use of more energy and
higher operating costs.
2. Operate dryer using full-size loads. Very large loads use
extra energy. Very small loads waste energy.
3. Dry light-weight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics. You
will use less energy and get more even drying results by
drying fabrics of similar weight together.
4. Clean the lint screen area daily. A clean lint screen helps
give faster, more economical drying.
5. Do not open the dryer door while drying. You let warm air
escape from the dryer into the room.
6. Unload the dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to re-
start your dryer to remove wrinkles.
NOTE
It is best to run a properly sized bag of rags and/or old
towels through one or two cycles prior to drying in service.
This process will remove any films or residual coatings left
by the manufacturing process.
CAUTION
Synthetic solvent fumes from dry cleaning machines create
acids when drawn through the dryer. These acid fumes
cause rusting of painted parts, pitting of bright plated parts
and completely removes the zinc from galvanized metal
parts, such as the tumbler basket.
If the dry cleaning machines are in the same area as the
tumbler, then the tumbler make-up air must come from a
source free of solvent fumes.
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2,000 FEET (610 M)
Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m),
rating should be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m)
above sea level.
