12. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer, door, and sail switches
on gas models).
13. A reversing basket (tumbler) should never be operated with less than a 442 lb (200 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 minute spin time and a 7-second dwell (stop) time.
BASKET (TUMBLER) 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.
14. Each dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
15. Microprocessor controller (computer) programs/selections...
a. Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used program (parameter) selections. If computer programming changes are required, refer
to the User’s Manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
H. 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 left side of the main electrical cabinet located in the right hand electrical enclosure. In the case of 208
VAC or 240 VAC for dryers with sprinkler, verify single-phase (1ø) voltage is correct. THE SUPPLY
VOLTAGE MUST MATCH THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE EXACTLY.
3. GAS MODELS - Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer
data label.
4. GAS MODELS - The sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to
shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety
control is functioning.
5. GAS MODELS - Be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
6. Be sure ALL side and base panels are on the dryer.
7. Check ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secure.
8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.
