Instructions / Assembly

Pre Operational Instructions
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
• Read all “IMPORTANT” AND “WARNING” labels attached to the dryer.
• Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the data label.
• GAS MODELS – Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of gas indicated on
the dryer data label.
• GAS MODELS – Be sure that all gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
• Be sure all back panels (guards) and electric box covers are in place.
• Be sure the service doors are closed and securely in place.
• Be sure the lint lter is securely in place.
• Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand in both directions to be sure it moves freely.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and ttings for tightness and security.
• Check that the vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted to the outdoors.
Function Checks
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a 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.
Gas Dryers
• Open all shutoff valves.
• Turn on electric power to the dryer.
• Run the “No Heat” drying program and check if the drum is rotating properly.
• Run the “Low Heat” and to check the Ignition.
• Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
When a gas dryer is rst started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the rst
ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is lled 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.
• A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that
the water column pressure is correct and consistent.
• Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body)
must be veried.
• Dryers congured for L.P. operation do not have a regulator. The water column pressure must
be regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each dryer’s
L.P. connection line.
