6. Be sure that
ALL gas shut-off valves are in the open position.
7. Be sure
ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.
8. Check the lint drawer to assure that it is closed and secured in place.
9. Rotate the tumbler (basket) by hand to be sure they move freely.
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
a. Open ALL gas shut-off valves.
2. Computer System Operational Test.
a. COIN MODELS ONLY
1) The L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display(s) will flash back and forth between “FILL” and the amount
needed to start the dryer (i.e., “25”), meaning that the dryer is available and 25¢ is required to start
it.
2) Insert the proper number of coins into coin acceptor. Once the correct amount needed to start the
dryer has been inserted, the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display(s) will read “PUSH” ... “tEnP.”
3) Start the dryer by pressing the desired setting for either the upper tumbler (basket) or lower tumbler
(basket) (i.e., “LO” selection for the upper tumbler (basket). The L.E.D. (light emitting diode)
display will now read selection (setting) made and the amount of time vended (i.e., “LO 10”).
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart the dryer, shut the
main door and press the 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
setting key circuits and door switch circuits are functioning properly.
NOTE: Selection (setting) changes can be made at any time during the drying cycle by opening and
closing the main door and then making a new selection.
5) Repeat above procedure for the other tumbler (basket).
3. 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.
