H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1.Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
2.Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label.
3.GAS MODELS – check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.
4.GAS MODELS – the sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety control is functioning.
5.Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness.
6.GAS MODELS – be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
7.Be sure ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.
8.Check the lint door to ensure that it is closed and secured in place.
9.Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure they move freely.
10.To facilitate door closure and better tumbling action (and improved efficiency), the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
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.
1.Turn on electric power to the dryer: open ALL gas shutoff valves.
2.Computer System Operational Test a. Coin Models
1)The liquid crystal display (L.C.D.) screen reads “Ready,” insert amount to start (i.e. 25¢).
2)Insert coin(s). Once the correct amount has been inserted, the display for the appropriate pocket will display “SELECT TEMP TO START”.
3)Start temperature by pressing “HIGH,” “MEDIUM,” or “LOW” for the dryer pocket you wish to start the cycle in. The cycle/dryer will start, and the L.C.D. will read the drying cycle selected, and the remaining time.
