If one (1) burner lights and the other does not, then the system will shut both burners off and the
burner fault code will be displayed showing which of the two (2) burners failed to ignite.
NOTE: During the purging period, verify that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at each gas valve pressure tap of
the dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at both gas valve pressure taps)...
Natural Gas ----------- 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
4) Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail
switches on gas models).
5) A reversing basket (tumbler) should never be operated with less than a 100 pound (45.4 kg) load
(dry weight). The size of the load will affect the coast-down and dwell (stop) times. The basket
(tumbler) must come to a complete stop before starting in the opposite direction. For automatic
(mode) cycle only, the spin and stop times are not adjustable and have been preprogrammed into the
microprocessor controller (computer) for a 2-1/2 minute reverse spin time and a 7-second dwell
(stop) time.
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.
6) Each dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments
are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
7) Microprocessor controller (computer) programs/selections...
a. Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the
most commonly used parameter (programs) selections. If computer program changes are
required, refer to the Computer Programming Manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
J. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1. Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label affixed to
the back panel of the main electrical cabinet located in the right hand electrical enclosure. In case of 208
VAC, for dryers with sprinkler option, verify single-phase (1ø) voltage is correct. The supply voltage
must match the electrical service exactly.
3. GAS MODELS - Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the
dryer data label.
