Rules for Safe Operation of Your Dryer
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.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting.
Turns, elbows and long vent tubing tend to increase drying
time. Longer dry 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 lightweight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics.
You'll use less energy and get more even drying results by
drying fabrics of similar weight together.
4. Clean the lint screen after each load. A clean lint screen
helps give faster, more economical drying.
5. Don't open the dryer door while drying. You let warm air
escape from the dryer into the room.
6. Unload your dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to
re-start your dryer to remove wrinkles.
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2,000 FEET
Input ratings shown on the rating plate (serial tag) are for elevations up to
2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, rating should be reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
