SECTION XI

SENSORACTIVATED

FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM

The exclusive S.A.F.E. system will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket (tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the system was activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.

BEFORE YOU START, CHECK LOCAL CODES AND PERMITS

Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority for information regarding local codes.

IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.

IMPORTANT: It is the installer’s or owner’s responsibility to see that the necessary or required water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed, or maintained properly.

INSTALLATION

1.Requirements

The S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2-inch and be provided with 40 psi ± 20 psi (2.75 bar ± 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure requirements is required.

Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.

IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/ freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be INOPERATIVE!!

IMPORTANT: Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old hose set should not be reused.
