DETAILS OF OPERATION (cont’d)
Power Failure
If there is a power failure that lasts longer than 5 seconds, the control will
temporarily halt the cycle and flash “_PF” in the display. To restart the cycle,
push ON and the START. To terminate the cycle, push OFF/STOP. For power
failures less than 24 hours, the cycle parameter will be remembered. When the
power failure is longer than 24 hours, all cycle parameters will be lost and must
be re-entered.
Thermistor Failure
If the thermistor (temperature sensor) should fail, the control will halt the cycle
and flash “FFF” in the display. The dryer should not be restarted until the
thermistor is replaced.
Automatic Power Down
If
a
cycle
is
not
run
for
30
minutes,
the
control
will
automatically
turn
itself
off.
Push ON to power up the control.
Dryness Sensor
When in the AUTO drying mode, the length of the cycle is controlled by a
dryness sensor. The sensor works on a “capacitor charge time” principle. The
electronic circuit looks at the charge on the capacitor in the dryness circuit.
When the capacitor is connected to the dryness probe that is located in the
center of the basket. Wet goods hitting the probe will “discharge” the capacitor
or prevent it from reaching full charge. As the goods dry, they have less effect on
discharging the capacitor until finally it is fully charged ending the drying cycle.
The time to charge the capacitor with no load in the dryer is listed below:
Charge Time (in minutes)

11.5
C O T T O N
5.5
P E R M A N E N T P R E S S

DELICATE

Automatic Cooling
When in the AUTO cooling mode, the cycle will end when the temperature goes
below 135° F.
