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 “Perma -
nent 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 if the controller has a red dot sticker or 15 minutes if the con -
troller has no red dot sticker.
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.
In the following instruction steps, things that are displayed on the 4-digit numerical display 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. No
tice 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.
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.
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 repre
sent 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 work “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 switch on the dryer controller
is not pressed, and then rotate the cylinder for 10 seconds and stop. This two-minute
of idle time and 10 seconds of tumble time will repeat a total of 10 times, at which time
the wrinkle free cycle stops. The cylinder will not rotate again until a new dry cycle is started.
During the wrinkle free cycle, the gas valve will not be operated and there will be no heat
applied to the load. The word “donE” will also continue to flash and do so even after the wrinkle
free cycle is finished. When the dryer loading door is opened, or the STOP touch pad switch
is pressed, the word “donE” will change to the word “LOAd” on the dryer control ler display. The
dryer will then be ready for another dry cycle.
