Save These Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the tumbler.
2. Refer to the Grounding Instructions for the
proper grounding of the tumbler.
3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other flammable
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
4. Do not allow children to play on or in the
tumbler. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the tumbler is used near children.
This is a safety rule for all appliances.
5. Before the tumbler is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment and the door to the lint
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the tumbler if the cylinder is
revolving.
7. Do not install or store the tumbler where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of the tumbler,
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter daily.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the tumbler and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
15. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
16. Tumbler will not operate with the loading door
open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch to
permit the tumbler to operate with the door open.
The cylinder will stop rotating when the door is
opened. Do not use the tumbler if the cylinder
does not stop rotating when the door is opened or
starts rotating without pressing or turning the
START mechanism. Remove the tumbler from
use and call for service.
17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the tumbler, as these oils may not
be removed during washing. Due to the
remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by
itself.
18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable substances
such as machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home with dry-cleaning
solvent in the tumbler.
19. Use the tumbler only for its intended purpose,
drying fabrics.
20. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power to the
tumbler before servicing. Disconnect power by
shutting off appropriate breaker or fuse.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your tumbler, read and follow these
basic precautions:

21. Install this tumbler according to this Installation
Manual. All connections for electrical power,
grounding and gas supply must comply with
local codes and be made by licensed personnel
when required.
22. Remove laundry immediately after tumbler
stops.
23. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce
the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
24. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies
unless the label says it can be done. If they are
dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to
remove particles of fiberglass.

supplied by the garment manufacturer.
26. Never operate the tumbler with any guards and/or
panels removed.
27. DO NOT operate the tumbler with missing or
broken parts.

29. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
machine according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
30. Solvent vapors from dry-cleaning machines
create acids when drawn through the heater of the
unit. These acids are corrosive to the tumbler as
well as to the laundry load being dried. Be sure
make-up air is free of solvent vapors.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, install
lockable door(s) to prevent public access
to rear of tumblers.

Installation
IMPORTANT: Warranty is void unless tumbler is
installed according to instructions in this manual.
Installation should comply with minimum
specifications and requirements detailed in this
manual and applicable local gas fitting regulations,
municipal building codes, water supply regulations,
electrical wiring regulations, and any other
relevant statutory regulations. Due to varied
requirements, applicable local codes should be
thoroughly understood and all pre-installation
work arranged for accordingly.
Pre-Installation Inspection
Upon delivery, visually inspect the packaging and
portions of the product visible through the packaging
for shipping damage. If the package or product is
damaged or if signs of possible damage are evident,
have the carrier note the condition on the shipping
papers before the shipping receipt is signed, or advise
the carrier of the condition as soon as it is discovered.
Remove the crate and protective cover as soon as
possible and check the items listed on the packing list.
Advise the carrier of any damaged or missing articles
as soon as possible. A written claim should be filed
with the carrier immediately if articles are damaged
or missing. IMPORTANT: Keep tumbler area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Materials Required (Obtain locally)
All Models One fused disconnect switch or
circuit breaker.
Gas Models One gas shut-off valve for gas
service line to each tumbler.
Steam Models One steam shut-off valve for steam
service line to be connected
upstream of solenoid steam valve.
Two steam shut-off valves for each
condensate return line.
Flexible steam hoses with a 125 psig
(pounds per square inch gauge)
(8.79 kg/sq. cm) working pressure
for connecting steam coils. Refer to
Figure 16 and Figure 17 for sizing
and connection configurations.
Three steam traps for steam coil
outlet to condensate return line.
Three vacuum breakers for
condensate return lines.

Installation
M414038
18 © Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC –DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
Location Requirements
The tumbler must be installed on a level floor capable
of supporting 120 lbs./ft2(585.8 kg/m2). Floor
covering materials such as carpeting or tile should be
removed.
To assure compliance, consult local building code
requirements.
The tumbler MUST NOT be installed or stored in area
where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the
rear of the tumbler with laundry or other articles.
Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the
combustion chamber of the tumbler.
A typical tumbler enclosure is shown in Figure 1. Note
that the enclosure touches the tumbler top and side
panels. Also, note the minimum and maximum
dimensions. Local codes and ordinances must be
complied with.
IMPORTANT: Install tumblers with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation. Refer to
Figure 1.
Figure 1
To reduce the risk of serious injury, install
lockable door(s) to prevent public access
to rear of tumblers.
