NOTE:

Gas model dryers are equipped with an ignition system, which has internal diagnostics.  If
ignition

 is not 

established after one (1) time, the heat circuit in the ignition module will attempt

two (2) more ignitions (total of three [3] ignition attempts).  If there is no flame after the third
ignition attempt, the module will lock out until it is manually reset.  To reset the ignition system,
open and close the main door and restart the dryer.

b. A gas pressure test 

should be

 taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that the water

column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.

NOTE:

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

Natural Gas ----------------------- 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ------ 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.

IMPORTANT:

There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer.  The water column pressure 

must be

regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator 

must be

 added to each

dryer.

4. Make a complete operational check of 

ALL

 safety related circuits:

a. Door Switch(es)

b. Hi-Limit Thermostats

c. Cycling Thermostats

d. Sail Switch

NOTE:

The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint door while the heating
circuit (gas burner/electric oven) is active (on).  The heating unit should shut off within a few
seconds.  If not, make necessary adjustments to the sail switch.

5. Make a complete operational check of 

ALL

 operating controls.

NOTE:

If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the
manual supplied with the dryer.

6. The dryer 

should be

 operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are

necessary and that 

ALL

 components are functioning properly.

BASKET (TUMBLER) 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.

7. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only).  While the dryer is operating, check

to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction.  Looking from the front, the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction.  If it is, the phasing is correct.  If
the phasing is incorrect, reverse the two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply to the
dryer.
