DRYER 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 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 five default dry cycle values are 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 indi -
vidual articles in your load before using the dryer.
NOTE: In the following instruction steps, things that are displayed on the 4-digit numerical dis -
play will be in “quotation marks” and any touch pad switches on the dryer controller 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 switch on the dryer controller twice.
2) Press and release the UP or DOWN touch pad switch on the dryer controller to select a dry cycle.
3) Once the desired dry cycle is selected, press and release the START touch pad switch.
4) After the dryer controller START touch pad switch 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.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) When the time decrements to zero, the dryer controller display will flash the work “donE” and the
end of cycle tone will sound.
Safety Door Lock
If power is interrupted the Safety Door Lock delays opening the door until it is safe to do so. If power
failure occurs or if power is interrupted during maintenance, it will be necessary to wait 2 to 3 minutes
before the door can be opened.
End of Cycle
When the cycle is completed, the washer will stop, the End of Cycle Light will come on, the Buzzer sounds
and the loading door will unlock. It can be opened by turning the door handle to the indicated position
and pulling. Leave the clothes door open when the machine is not in use helps to eliminate odors that
might build up during the wash process.
