Preoperational Test _____________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving
the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed
before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments
have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation)
conditions.
Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Refer to the operating instructions for starting your dryer.
Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has
a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This is
because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a
few minutes for the air to be purged from the lines.
NOTE:
During the purging period, check to be sure that all gas
shutoff valves are open.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler is treated with a protective coating. We suggest
dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of
water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in
the tumbler to remove this coating.
Each tumbler should be operated through one complete cycle
to ensure that no further adjustments are necessary and that all
components are functioning properly.
Microprocessor Programs / Selections
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been pre
programmed by the factory with the most commonly used
parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes
are required, refer to the computer programming manual, which
was shipped with the dryer.
Operating Instructions __________
The dryer is available for use when the appropriate side of the
microprocessor display reads “0 minutes” and the amount
needed to start the dryer (i.e., “25”). Once the load has been
put into the dryer and the main door is closed, start the dryer as
follows:
͜
Insert the proper number of coins into the coin acceptor.
Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the
display will read “SELECT CYCLE”.
͜
Determine fabric setting (selection).
Once the fabric temperature setting (selection) has been
determined, start the dryer by pressing the fabric setting
key.
͜
The dryer will now start, and the display will read the setting
and the time vended.
͜
The cycle time will count down until the drying and cooling
cycles are completed.
͜
Upon completion of the drying and cooling cycles, the dryer
will shut off.
The dryer tumbler can be stopped at any time by opening the
main door. Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. To
restart dryer, shut the main door and press desired setting.
NOTE:
When a cycle is interrupted by opening the main door,
cycle time will continue to count downward, regardless if the
door is open or closed.
Selection (setting) changes can be made at any time during the
drying cycle.
Shutdown Instructions __________
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period
of time, the following must be performed:
Disconnect power to the dryer either at the external disconnect
switch or the circuit breaker.
Disconnect the fuel supply: close external gas shutoff valve.
Also close two internal gas shutoff valves.
If the dryer is to be removed from service or discarded, before
doing so remove the door to the drying compartment.
