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 particular model dryer.
Gas Dryers
Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial
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.
Note
!Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body) must be
verified.
Important
!In most cases there is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be
regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each dryer.
Safety Related Circuits
Make a complete operational check of all safety related circuits:
•Door Switch(es)
•
•Sail Switch
Make a complete operational check of all operating controls.
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.
Microprocessor Programs/Selections
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed 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.
Preoperational Instructions __________
Important
!For more detailed information regarding the microprocessor controller (computer), refer to the
microprocessor user’s manual included with the dryer.
Coin Models
Microprocessor Controller (Computer)
When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the ready state, the L.C.D. screen will display “To Start Insert $XX.XX”.
Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount to Start” has been inserted, the L.C.D. will display “Select Cycle”.
Select temperature by pressing WHITES / COLORS, PERM PRESS, OR DELICATES. The cycle will start and the L.C.D. will display the Dry Cycle selected and the remaining time.
The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles, until the vended time has expired.
Note
!To stop the dryer, open main door. Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been
closed and any one of the 3 temperature selections is pressed.
Shutdown Instructions ________________
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed:
Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
Discontinue the heat supply:
Gas Models – Discontinue the gas supply. Shut off external gas supply shutoff valve.
Shut off internal gas supply shutoff valve located in the gas valve burner area.
