explosion and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
The dryer must never be operated with any of the back guards, outer tops, or service panels removed. Personal injury or fire could result.
Failure to properly install, maintain, and/or operate dryer according to this manual and operator’s manuals included with dryer may result in conditions which can cause serious injury, death and/or property damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Purchaser and user should consult the local gas supplier for proper instructions to be followed in the event the user smells gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent location.
What To Do If You Smell Gas:
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch.
•Do not use any phone in your building.
•Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer, there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
Warning
!Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents,
combustible detergents, or “all purpose” cleaner. Explosion could result.
Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could result.
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.
Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage plastics or rubber and also may be a fire hazard.
A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location.
Do not operate steam dryers with more than 150 psi (10.34 bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can damage the steam coil and/or harm personnel.
Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible hoses. Personal injury may result.
Warning
!The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire
hazard.
For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local and/or country codes. In the absence of these codes use the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
Note
!Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will void the warranty.
Warning
!Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat safety circuit
ever be disabled.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle has been completed.
Warning
!Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling cycles have been completed can create a fire
hazard.
For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its rated capacity.
Warning
!You must disconnect and lockout the electric supply and the gas supply or the steam supply
before any covers or guards are removed from the machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.
Important
!The dryer must be installed in a location/ environment, which the ambient temperature
remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of other types of gas appliances, which take their air for safe combustion from the same room. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturer(s).
Use this dryer only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics.
