BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING

The steam damper should not “slam” (open or closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel. Additionally, the steam damper should not bind and/or stop during travel. If either of these conditions occur, the flow control must be adjusted. Refer to the bottom illustration on page 34 for air adjustment instructions.

4.Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail switch on gas models).

NOTE: To check for proper sail switch operation, open the main door and while holding main door switch plunger in, start dryer. Dryer should start but heat circuit should not be activated (on). If heat (burner) does activate, shut the dryer off and make necessary adjustments.

5.Reversing basket (tumbler) dryers should never be operated with less than a 85 lb (38 kg) load (dry weight), since the load’s weight affects basket (tumbler) coast time during a direction reversal command. It is important that the basket (tumbler) come to a complete stop prior to starting in opposite direction.

The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. It is suggested to dampen old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumble them in the basket (tumbler) to remove this coating.

6.Each dryer should be operated through one complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.

7.Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.

a.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.
