H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP

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.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.

IMPORTANT: If during installation the lint door safety chain was disconnected, it must be reconnected or personal injury may result.

9.Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure it moves freely.

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 or due to marginal location (installation) conditions.

1.Turn on electric power to the dryer.

2.Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.

3.Gas Dryers

a.When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled 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.
