Important Safety Instructions
(Save These Instructions)
1. Read all instructions before using the finisher.
2. Do not finish articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or around the
finisher. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the finisher is used near children.
This is a safety rule for all appliances.
4. Check the operation of the safety finger guard at
the beginning of every shift. Operating the safety
guard should stop the finisher immediately. If this
safety feature is not working properly, employees
must shut off the finisher and notify the
supervisor. Do not operate the finisher until the
safety finger guard is repaired and working
properly. Be sure that all other safety features,
including guards and panels, are in place before
operating the finisher.
5. Never service the finisher while it is running.
Never reach over, under, or behind the safety
finger guard or into any area near hot surfaces or
moving parts without first shutting off the
finisher at the switch and power source. Follow
this rule whenever working on the finisher to
avoid serious injury from the finisher’s heat and/
or pressure.
6. Never try to remove, adjust, or straighten jammed
or misfed linen while the finisher is running.
Attempting to clear the jammed linen item can
result in the user being caught in the linen and
pulled into the finisher. If something is jammed
in the finisher, turn off the power before
attempting to correct the problem. Avoid contact
with heated parts.
7. Protect yourself and fellow workers by making
sure that everyone follows all the rules. Read and
follow all safety labels and warnings. Learn all
aspects of the equipment such as what is hot,
which parts move, all safety shut-offs, and all
emergency procedures. Do not come close to
moving or heated parts. Do not wear loose
clothing, sweaters, jewelry, or neck ties when
near the finisher.
8. Frequent scheduled safety meetings are a must to
review and update rules. If anyone is observed
breaking the rules, the supervisor or manager
should be notified immediately. Reporting people
for rule breaking could save their lives or limbs.
9. Emergency shut-offs such as finger bars and
emergency stop switches, should be painted red
and clearly labeled.
10. Maintenance personnel should work in a buddy
system for mutual protection when working on a
finisher.
11. If in doubt, don’t. Do not do anything until the
supervisor or service-maintenance department
has been contacted. Only qualified personnel
should service the finisher.
12. Do not install or store the finisher where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
13. Do not tamper with the controls.
14. Do not repair or replace any part of the finisher or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this installation/operation
manual.
15. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT FINISH
plastics or articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
16. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
17. The interior of the finisher and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
18. 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.

Pre-Installation Inspection
Upon delivery, visually inspect the packaging and
portions of the finisher that are visible through the
packaging for shipping damage.
If the package or finisher 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.
IMPORTANT: Lift the box cover off the finisher
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: Warranty is void unless the finisher
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
arranged accordingly.

Inlet Pressure
Use a manometer to verify that the inlet pressure meets
the following requirements:
Natural Gas service must be supplied at 7.0 ±1.5 inch
water column pressure (1.74 ±0.37 kPa).
L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas service must be
supplied at 11 ±0.3 inch water column pressure
(2.74 ±0.07 kPa).
Manifold Pressure
To check manifold pressure, use a manometer to verify
that the settings of the gas valve correspond with the
type of gas being used.
1. Connect the manometer to the pressure
connection located on top of the gas valve while
the burner is ignited.
2. Read the manometer to determine the pressure of
the gas. The measured gas pressure must be equal
to the pressure indicated on the finisher’s serial
plate.
3. Install a pressure regulator valve (obtain locally),
suited for the nature and flow rate of the gas used,
in the tube system near the finisher.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, check gas
connection for leaks.

Exhaust Requirements
Whenever possible, install the finisher along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a
minimum and make-up air can be easily accessed.
Construction must not block the airflow at the rear of
the finisher. Doing so would cause inadequate air
supply to the finisher combustion chamber.
IMPORTANT: Provisions must be made for make-
up air.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
Using the shortest possible path, connect the exhaust
outlet to an outlet duct. For gas models, use two
separate outlets.
IMPORTANT: Outlet ducts used for the finisher’s
exhaust may under no circumstances be shared
with other devices.
Finisher produces combustible lint. To
reduce the risk of fire, the finisher must be
exhausted to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation
of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust
finisher air into a window well, gas vent,
chimney or enclosed, unventilated area
such as an attic wall, ceiling, crawl space
under a building, or concealed space of a
building. W679
WARNING
Do not connect vents together. Gas and
ventilation outlets must be separate to
prevent fire.
Insulate all ducts to prevent fire. W680
