2) Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail
switches on gas models).
3) A reversing basket (tumbler) should never be operated with less than a 100 lb. (45.4 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 2-1/2 minute reverse spin time and a 7-second dwell (stop) time.
BASKET 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 affixed
behind the right control box door. In case of 208 VAC, for dryers with sprinkler option, verify single-phase
(1ø) voltage is correct. 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.
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 lint drawer is securely in place.
