It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements and that gas meters be
rated for the total amount of appliance BTUs 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.
3. GAS MODELS - check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat or gas indicated on the
dryer data label.
4. 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 shutoff 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.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
a. Coin Models Only
1) The display will read “0 minutes” for both baskets (tumblers) and the price required to start a cycle.
2) Insert the proper number of coins into coin acceptor. Once the correct amount needed to start the
dryer has been inserted, the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) displays will read “SELECT CYCLE.”
3) Start the dryer by pressing the desired fabric setting. After the cycle is started, drying time will
count down whether the door is closed or open.
