SECTION XI

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM (F.S.S.)

F.S.S. In Action

The exclusive Fire Suppression System (F.S.S.) will extinguish fires that may start in the

drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler)

and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the F.S.S. water jets to quickly extinguish

the flames. The water jets remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if

a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jets are activated, the basket (tumbler)

will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the

system was activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.

We have tried to make this manual as complete as possible and hope you will find it

useful.
