Heat Source Check . . .

Electric Dryers

Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three

minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Gas Dryers

To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer.

Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.

IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If this happens, after approximately two minutes igniter will again attempt gas ignition.

After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy, yellow tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

a.Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.

b.Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.

c.After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.

d.Reinstall the lower front panel.

WARNING

For personal safety, lower front panel must be in place during normal operation.
