STEP 7 Confirming Heat Source Operation.

Confirming Heat Source in Gas Dryers

Close the door to the dryer drum/drying compartment and, after completing all steps in this manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the dryer on a heat setting, as described more fully in the operating instructions that accompany the dryer. After the dryer starts, the igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.

Warning: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may go off before the gas and the main burner have ignited. If this happens, the igniter will re-attempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

Confirming Heat Source in Electric Dryers

Close the door to the dryer drum/drying compartment and, after completing all steps in this manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the dryer on a heat setting, as described more fully in the operating instructions that accompany the dryer. The exhaust air or the exhaust pipe should be warm after the dryer has been operating for three minutes.

STEP 8 Dryer Airflow.

Effective dryer operation requires appropriate dryer airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked with the dryer running with no load.
