J. 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 or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
2. Make sure the main door is closed and the lint drawer is securely in place.
3. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
4. Check to insure that the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the
direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to insure that the impellor (fan) rotates in the clockwise (CW)
direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2)
of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
5. System Controls Operational Test --- to start the dryer...
a. Microprocessor controller (computer) controls
1) Display will read “REAdY.”
2) Press the “E” (preprogrammed) cycle key in the touch pad of the keyboard.
3) Light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will quickly read “Drying Manual Cycle” “30 Min Remain”
(unless special programs requested).
4) Review the Preprogrammed Cycle Parameters (programs) to ensure they match the set temperatures
needed to process the types of materials that is dried. Press “START/ENTER” and the desired
preset cycle. The microprocessor controller (computer) will display the entire cycle configuration
before “REAdY.”
5) Dryer will now start and the L.E.D. display will read (dry mode for 30 minutes) and count down in
minutes.
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door or by pressing the “STOP”
key. To restart the dryer, press the “START” key or preprogrammed cycle key (i.e.,
“E”).
NOTE: Pressing touch pad key “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” and “F” will also start the dryer. The six (6)
preprogrammed drying cycles (“A-F”) have been stored in the microprocessor controller
(computer’s) memory. Refer to the computer programming manual supplied with the dryer for
these preprogrammed cycles.
