L.E.D. display will now read the selection (setting) made and the amount of time vended (i.e., "LO
10").

the main door and press desired setting.
4) Open main door to stop the dryer, and change selection to "PERM PRESS" (medium) setting.
Repeat this procedure, but change the selection (setting) to "HI" (high). This will confirm that

2. Heat Circuit Operational Test.
a. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first
ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for
the air to be purged from the lines.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shut-off valves are open.
NOTE: Gas dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system which has internal
diagnostics. If ignition is not established after the first attempt, the heat circuit in the DSI
module will lock out until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close
the main door and restart the dryer.
b. Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each
dryer to assure that the water column pressure is correct and consistent.
