IMPORTANTNOTICES—PLEASEREAD
For optimum efficiency and safety, we recommend that you read the Manual before operating the equipment. Store this manual in a
file or binder and keep for future reference.
WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliances.
• 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 thegas supplier's
instructions.
• If you cannot reach the gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
WARNING: In the event the user smells gas odor, instructions on what to do must be posted in a
prominent location. This information can be obtained from the local gas supplier.
WARNING: Wear Safety Shoes to prevent injuries.
WARNING: Purchaser must post the following notice in a prominent location:
FOR YOURSAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING: A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and should be exhausted outside the
building. The dryer and the area around the dryer should be kept free of lint.
WARNING: Be safe, before servicing machine, the main power should be shut off.

Page 3
WARNING: To avoid fire hazard, do not dry articles containing foam rubber or similar texture materials.
Do not put into this dryer flammable items such as baby bed mattresses, throw rugs,undergarments
(brassieres, etc.) and other items which use rubber as padding or backing. Rubber easily oxidizes causing
excessive heat and possible fire. These items should be air dried.
WARNING: Synthetic solvent fumes from drycleaning machines create acids when drawn through the
dryer. These fumes cause rusting of painted parts, pitting of bright or plated parts, and completely
removes the zinc from galvanized parts, such as the tumbler basket. If drycleaning machines are in the
same area as the tumbler, the tumbler's make-up air must come from a source free of solvent fumes.
WARNING: Do not operate without guards in place.
WARNING: Check the lint trap often and clean as needed but at least a minimum of once per day.
WARNING: Alterations to equipment may not be carried out without consulting with the factory and
only by a qualified engineer or technician. Only Cissell parts may be used.
WARNING: Remove clothes from dryer as soon as it stops. This keeps wrinkles from setting in and
reduces the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
WARNING: Be Safe - shut main electrical power and gas supply off externally before attempting
service.
WARNING: Never use drycleaning solvents, gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquids in the dryer.
FIREANDEXPLOSIONWILLOCCUR. NEVERPUTFABRICSTREATEDWITHTHESELIQUIDS
INTO THE DRYER. NEVER USE THESE LIQUIDS NEAR THE DRYER..
WARNING: Never let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury could occur if a child
should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
WARNING: Never tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say they are machine
dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer. These fibers cause skin irritation if they
become mixed with other fabrics.
WARNING: Before operating gas ignition system - purge air from Natural Gas or Propane Gas Lines
per manufacturer’s instructions..

Unpacking/General Installation (All Dryers)
Uponarrival of theequipment,any damage in shipmentshould be
reported to the carrier immediately.
Upon locating permanent location of a unit, care should be taken in
movementandplacementofequipment.
See outline clearance diagrams for correct dimensions.
Remove all packing material such as: tape, manuals, skid, etc.
Leveling: Use spirit level on top of dryer. Adjust leveling bolts on
dryer (see adjustable leveling bolts in maintenance section).
Check voltage and amperes on rating plate before installing the dryer.
Theconstructionof Continental dryers permits installation side-by-
side to save space or to provide a wall arrangement. Position dryer
for the least amount of exhaust piping and elbows, and allow free
access to the rear of dryer for future servicing of belts, pulleys and
motors. Installation clearance from all combustible material is 0”
ceiling clearance, 0” rear clearance, and 0” side clearance.
Before operating dryer, open basket door and remove blocking
between front panel and basket. Read the instruction tags, owner's
manual,warnings,etc.

General Information
The Continental Dryer is so designed that when an operator opens the
dryer door, the basket and exhaust fan stops. You can expect fast
drying from a Continental Laundry Dryer. Hot, dry air is properly and
effectivelymovedthroughthebasketandexhaustedthroughalinttrap
tothe atmosphere. The Continental Dryer comes equippedwith an
inclined,self-cleaning lint screen. In this system, lint accumulates on
the underside of the screen until a blanket approximately 1/4” thick is
formed. This blanket of lint will fall from the screen to the bottom of
the dryer cabinet and should be removed daily, or as required, to
preventanoveraccumulation.
Permanent press, durable press and other modern day fabrics require
thecare that your Continental LaundryDryersnow provide.
At the end of the drying cycle, a timed “cool-down” control
automaticallytakes over and continues the rotation ofthefan and
basket without heat until the garment load reaches a safe cool
temperature.This function is performed at the end of each drying
cycleand continues for twominutes.
Dryers must be electrically grounded by a separate #14 or larger
greenwirefrom thegrounding terminalwithintheserviceconnection
box to a cold water pipe, or through the fourth green wire properly
groundedandconnectedtothegroundingterminal.Inallcases,the

Piping Recommendations
1. Trap each dryer individually. Always keep the trap clean and
ingoodworkingcondition.
2. When dryer is on the end of a line of equipment, extend
header at least 4 feet beyond dryer. Install globe valve,
union, check valve and by-pass trap at end of line. If gravity
return to boiler, omit trap.
3. Insulate steam supply and return line for safety of operator
and safety while servicing dryer.
4. Keep dryer in good working condition. Repair or replace any
worn or defective parts.
1. Keep steam coils clean.
2. Check periodically and clean as often as required.
3. Remove lint and dirt accumulation from coil fins periodically
as dirty lint-laden coil fins decrease the efficiency of steam-
heated dryers.

Gas Piping Installation
1. The installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code as:
ANSIZ223.1—(LatestEdition).
2. Check Identification Nameplate for type of gas for dryer.
3. Check for altitude elevation of dryer.
4. Check with utilities company for proper gas pressure and gas
supplyline.
5. Natural Gas Only—Check the gas pressure inlet supply to
dryer,11inchesWaterColumnmaximum.Manifold

Gas Piping Installation (Illustration)
The dryer and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it's individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than1/2PSIG.

Page 20
The size of the gas service pipe is dependent upon many variables,
such as tees, lengths, etc. Specific pipe size should be obtained from
the gas supplier. Refer to the “Gas Pipe Size” chart in this manual for
general gas pipe size information.

WARNING:
LIQUIFIEDPETROLEUMGASESONLY!
A Gas Pressure Regulator for Liquified Petroleum Gases is not
furnishedonContinentalGasHeatedClothesDryers.Thisregulator
is normally furnished by the installer. In accordance with American
Gas Association (AGA) standards, a gas pressure regulator, when
installed indoors, must be equipped with a vent limiter or a vent line
must be installed from the gas pressure regulator vent to the outdoors.
