OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To dry a load of items, you must choose one of the five-programmed dry cycles. Each of these five dry
cycles may be modified in two different ways to match your load. Please refer to the “Permanent Dryer
Controller Programming” or “Temporary Dryer Controller Programming” section of this manual.
There are two parts to each dry cycle. The first part is the heating time, which is when the gas valve is
cycled on and off according to the temperature setting in the dry cycle program. The second part is the
cool down time, which is after the heating part of the dry cycle, and is when the cylinder continues to
turn, but no heat is applied.
There will always be at least two minutes of cool down time for each dry cycle. The maximum amount
of cool down time is 60 minutes.
The default value of the five dry cycles is shown in the “DRYER CONTROLLER FACTORY
DEFAULT PROGRAM SETTINGS” table in this manual.
To improve the drying capabilities of this dryer, you should always separate (untangle) the individual
articles in your load before using the dryer.
In the following instruction steps, things that are displayed on the 4-digit numerical display will be in
“quotation marks” and any keys on the dryer controller touch pad that physically need to be pressed will
be in
CAPITAL AND BOLD LETTERS .
1)
Place your untangled load into the dryer cylinder and close the dryer loading door. Notice that the
dryer controller 4-digit numerical display should show the word “LOAd”. If it does not show this
word, then press and release the
STOP touch pad key on the dryer controller twice.
2)
Press and release the UP or DOWN arrow touch pad key on the dryer controller to select a dry cycle.
3)
Once the desired dry cycle is selected, press and release the START touch pad key.
After the dryer controller START touch pad key is pressed, the dryer cylinder will start rotating and
the two-digit total dry cycle time, along with a decimal point, will appear on the dryer controller
display.
The time shown on the dryer controller display will count down to the programmed cool down time.
At that time, the display will change from the decimal point and two-digit number to a letter “C” and
two digits.
The letter “C” represents the cool down portion of the dry cycle. The two digits represent the amount
of time remaining in the dry cycle. The two-digit time, shown on the dryer controller display, will
count down to zero.
When the time decrements to zero, the dryer controller display will flash the word “donE” and the end
of cycle tone will sound.
At that point, the wrinkle free cycle will automatically begin. This cycle will wait two minutes, if the
door is not opened or the
STOP touch pad key on the dryer controller is not pressed, and then rotate
the cylinder for 10 seconds and stop. This idle time of two minutes and tumble time of 10 seconds
