IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in a liquid propane (L.P.) dryer. The water column
(W.C.) pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator
must be added to each dryer.
b. Steam Models
1) Check to ensure that the steam damper is functioning properly.
2) Make a complete operational check of
ALL safety related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail
switches on gas models).
3) Reversing basket (tumbler) dryers should never be operated with less than a 303 lb (137.4 kg)
load (dry weight), since the load’s weight affects basket (tumbler) coast time during a direction
reversal command. It is important that the basket (tumbler) come to a complete stop prior to starting
in opposite direction. The basket (tumbler) must come to a complete stop before starting in the
opposite direction. For automatic (mode) cycle only, the spin and dwell (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 (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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
K. 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. 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.
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 assure that this important safety
control is functioning.
