NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):

Natural Gas .......... 3.5 Inches Water Column
L.P. Gas ................ 10.5 Inches Water Column

IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO REGULATOR PROVIDED IN AN 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.

3. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to insure that the timing is correct and

that the temperatures are set properly.

4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., door switches, hi-limit thermostats,

sail switches, basket (tumbler) safety thermostats, etc.).

NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the control door while the

dryer is running and the heating unit (burner) active (on). The heating unit(s) should shut off

within a few seconds. If not, make the necessary adjustments.

5. Each basket (tumbler) should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further

adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.

IMPORTANT: The dryer baskets (tumblers) are treated with a protective coating. This coating

can be removed by tumbling old clothes or material in the baskets (tumblers)

using a mild detergent to remove the protective coating.

NOTE: Drying and cooling cycles are complete when the L.E.D. display reads ... "donE".

6. Computer Programs / Selections...

Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most

commonly used program (parameter) selections. If microprocessor controller (computer) program changes

are required, refer to the computer programming manual which was shipped with the dryer.

7. On models manufactured for 3-phase (3Ø) electrical input voltage, check the electrical service phase

sequence. While the dryer is operating, check to see if the baskets (tumblers) are rotating in the clockwise

(CW) direction (when viewed from the front of the dryer). If the baskets (tumblers) rotate counterclockwise

(CCW), the phasing is incorrect. Reverse the two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply

to the dryer.
