5. Make a complete operational check of
ALL operating controls.
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the
manual supplied with the dryer.
6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
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.
7. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check
to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If
the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power
supply to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this will not only
drastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure.
J. PREOPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
COIN MODELS
1. Automatic Mode (Microprocessor Controller [Computer] Models)
a. When turning on power or when no cycle is in progress, the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will
read “FILL” and/or “Amount To Start.”
b. Insert coins.
Once correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the L.E.D. display will read “PUSH.”
c. Select temperature by pushing “HI TEMP,” “LO TEMP,” or “PERM PRESS.” The dryer will start, the
L.E.D. display will read the temperature cycle selected, and the drying time portion of the L.E.D.
display will read “00” and count upward as time elapses.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat and motor will stop. However, the
microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count downward in time.
Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed and any
other of the three (3) temperature selection buttons is again depressed.
d. Once the preprogrammed dryness level and cool down period have been reached, or the maximum
automatic time has expired, the tone (buzzer) will sound for 5-seconds, and the L.E.D. display will read
“donE,” at which time the dryer will shut off.
