Gas Dryers

To view the burner flame, remove the lower front 

panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting 

(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the 

dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red 

and the main burner will ignite. 

IMPORTANT:  If all air is not purged out of gas 
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If 
this happens, after approximately two minutes 
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.

After the dryer has operated for approximately five 

minutes, observe burner flame through lower front 

panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform 

blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack 

of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too 

much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous 

yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to 

the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.

3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, 

tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.

4. Reinstall the lower front panel.

After the dryer has operated for approximately three 

minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Figure 18 

For personal safety, lower front panel must 
be in place during normal operation.
