rated for the total amount of appliance Btu's being supplied.
H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
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 on
the back of the dryer control (service) door.
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 & ELECTRIC 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. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness.
6. GAS MODELS - be sure that ALL gas shut-off valves are in the open position.
7. Be sure ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced..
8. Check the lint door to assure that it is closed and secured in place.
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
I. 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.

a. COIN MODELS ONLY
