4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., door switches, hi-limit thermostats,
sail switches, basket [tumbler] safety thermostats, etc.).
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the control door while
the dryer is running and the heating unit (burner) active (on). The heating unit(s) should
shut off within a few seconds. If not, make the necessary adjustments.
5. Each basket (tumbler) should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further
adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
BASKET COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth
material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket
(tumbler) to remove this coating.
NOTE: Drying and cooling cycles are complete when the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display
reads “donE.”
6. Computer Programs/Selections...
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used program (parameter) selections. If microprocessor controller (computer) program changes
are required, refer to the computer programming manual which was shipped with the dryer.
7. On models manufactured for 3-phase (3ø) electrical input voltage, check the electrical service phase
sequence. While the dryer is operating, check to see if the baskets (tumblers) are rotating in the clockwise
(CW) direction (when viewed from the front of the dryer). If the baskets (tumblers) rotate counterclockwise
(CCW), the phasing is incorrect. Reverse the two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power
supply to the dryer.
J. SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
In the case where the dryer is to be shut down (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be
performed:
1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Discontinue the gas supply (for gas models Only):
a. SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve (for both the top basket [tumbler] and the bottom
basket [tumbler] where the independent supply line for each basket [tumbler] is used).
b. SHUT OFF internal gas supply shutoff valve located in the gas valve burner area (for both the
top basket [tumbler] and the bottom basket [tumbler]).
