Water Information _______________
Water installation should be performed by qualified
personnel in accordance with national and local
safety regulations.
If the water system activates then you must have the dryer
inspected by a qualified agency. Do not operate the dryer.
Electric power to the dryer must be on at all times in order for
the fire suppression system (F.S.S.) to function.
Water Connection and Supply
(Refer to figure)
The water connection is made into the rear of the dryer (refer
to the Technical Specifications page).
Use a new hose to connect to the water supply.
A flexible supply line, with coupling, must be used to avoid
damaging the water solenoid valve (A).
Water supply pipe size should be at least 1/2-inch (nominal)
(21.3 mm) and the supply pressure should be 275 ± 137 kPa.
Protect water lines from freezing if they will be exposed to
freezing-cold temperatures.

Optional Manual Bypass
A manual bypass can be connected to the “tee” fitting (B); see
figure. A 3/8” F.N.P.T. connection is provided. An easy-to-reach
shutoff valve (C) must be located outside of the dryer.

Start-Up ___________________________________
Check:
• Gas dryers – All shutoff valves should be open.
• All back panels (guards) should be in position.
• Service doors should be securely closed.
• Lint door or drawer should be fully closed.
• The tumbler (drum) should rotate freely.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler has a protective coating that should be wiped clean
with water and mild detergent solution (non flammable).
Alternatively, tumble a load of old garments that are wetted
with water and mild detergent solution (non flammable).
Preoperational Test
A performance check is needed after the dryer is fully installed
and before the dryer is ready for use.
Start the dryer (refer to the Operating Instructions below).
Gas Dryers – Check for flame ignition (may need more than
one attempt to purge air from the gas supply pipe).
Electric heat – Check the contactor(s) are cycling the electric
oven (heater) properly.
Steam heat – Check the steam solenoid functions correctly.
Safety Related Circuits
The dryer should stop when the main door is opened.
The dryer should stop when the lint door is opened.
If any failed test cannot be corrected, or if other concerns are
detected, contact your local service organization or dealer.
Ready for Use
If all tests are acceptable the machine is ready for use.
Installer must instruct the end user on how to operate the dryer
before leaving.
