Gas Pressure Test Procedure
!
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electric
shock.
1. Disconnect power to the dryer.
2. Turn off gas supply using the shutoff valve that supplies
the dryer.
3. Remove the toe panel from the dryer.
4. Turn gas cock in gas supply line to “OFF” position.
5. Install pressure tap and attach manometer.
6. Turn gas cock to “ON” position.
7. Turn on gas supply using the shutoff valve that supplies
the dryer and reconnect the power.
8. Start the dryer in Heat Mode and wait for ignition.
9. Record the manometer reading.
10. Once test is complete, disconnect power to the dryer,
turn gas cock to “OFF” position. Remove manometer.
Tighten screw inside the pressure tap or install plug.
11. Turn gas cock to “ON” position and check for leaks with
soap solution.
12. Reinstall the toe panel.
13. Reconnect the power.
Preparation for Operation / Start-Up _
The following items should be checked before attempting
to operate the dryer:
• Read all “WARNING” and “DIRECTION” labels attached
to the dryer.
• Check incoming supply voltage to ensure that it is the
same as indicated on the data label.
• Ensure that all gas shutoff valves are in the open
position.
• Ensure all back panels (guards) and electric box covers
are in place.
• Ensure the service doors are closed and securely in
place.
• Ensure the lint door/drawer is securely in place.
• Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand to ensure it moves
freely.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for
tightness and security.
• Check that the vent is connected to the dryer and is
exhausted to the outdoors.
Preoperational Test __________________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving
the factory. However, a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible
that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal
location (installation) conditions.
Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Refer to the operating instructions below for starting your
particular model dryer.
Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it
has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt.
This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it
may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the
lines.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that all
gas shutoff valves are open.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler is treated with a protective coating. We suggest
dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution
of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling
them in the tumbler to remove this coating.
Microprocessor Programs / 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.
Operating Instructions _______________
IMPORTANT: For more detailed information regarding the
microprocessor controller (computer), refer to the
microprocessor user’s manual included with the dryer.
Microprocessor Controller (Computer)
When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the
ready state, the L.C.D. screen will display “To Start Insert
$XX.XX”.
Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount to Start” has been
inserted, the L.C.D. will display “Select Cycle”.
Select temperature by pressing HEAVY DUTY, NORMAL, or
DELICATE. The cycle will start and the L.C.D. will display
the Dry Cycle selected and the remaining time.
The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles,
until the vended time has expired.
NOTE: To stop the dryer, open main door. Continuation of
the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed
and any one of the three temperature selections is
pressed.
