I. PREOPERATIONAL TEST
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.
a. Open ALL shutoff valves.
2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
a. Gas Dryers
1) When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner 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.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
NOTE: Gas dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal
diagnostics. If ignition is not established within three (3) times, the heat circuit in the DSI
module will “LOCK OUT” until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close
the main door and restart the dryer.
2) A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to assure that the
water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap):
Natural Gas ................................... 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column.
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ............. 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column.
