Steam Models
Check to ensure that steam damper is functioning properly.
The steam damper should not “slam” (open/closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel. Additionally, the steam damper should not bind or stop during travel. If either of these conditions occur, the flow control must be adjusted. (Refer to the Cool Down Mode in bottom illustration on page 19 for air adjustment instructions.)
Make a complete operational check of all safety related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail switch on gas models).
Reversing tumbler dryers should never be operated with less than an 80 lb (36.3 kg) load (dry weight), since the load’s weight affects tumbler coast time during a direction reversal command. It is important that the tumbler come to a complete stop prior to starting in opposite direction.
Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Dryer Models
Spin and dwell (stop) times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed into the microprocessor controller (computer) for a
Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable in the Manual (Timed) Mode.
Dual Timer Dryer Models
Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable at the reversing timer.
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 dryer should be operated through 1 complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are necessary and that all components are functioning properly.
Make a complete operational check of all operating controls.
Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Programs and 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.
Dual Timer Dryers Check
Turn drying timer knob for a time of 20 minutes. Select “High Temp.”
Push “Push to Start” button.
To stop dryer, open the main door.
Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable at the reversing timer.
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 gas or steam 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.
STEAM MODELS – discontinue the steam supply. Shut off external (location furnished) shutoff valve.
Shut off internal steam valves in the supply lines and the return lines.
Operating Instructions _______________
NOTE: Before attempting to start the dryer make sure that the main door is closed and the lint drawer is securely in place.
To Start the Dryer
Microprocessor Controller (Computer)
Dryer Models
Display will read “READY” (meaning no cycle in progress).
Press the letter on the keypad corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., “E”) and the dryer will then start (rotate).
L.E.D. display will now show the “Cycle In Progress” and “Cycle Status” meaning that the dryer is in the drying cycle (dry mode for 30 minutes) and count down in minutes.
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening main door or by pressing the “STOP” key. To restart the dryer, press the “START” key or preprogrammed cycle key (i.e., “E”).
Selection (setting) changes can be made at any time during the drying cycle by pressing the “STOP” key twice. The L.E.D. display will return to “READY” at which time a new cycle selection can be made.
