Safety Precautions ____________________
Warning
For your safety, the information in this manual
must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion and to prevent property damage, personal injury,
or loss of life.
The dryer must never be operated with any of the back
guards, outer tops, or service panels removed. Personal
injury or fire could result.
Failure to properly install, maintain, and/or operate dryer
according to this manual and operator’s manuals included
with dryer may result in conditions which can cause serious
injury, death and/or property damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Purchaser and user should consult the local gas supplier for
proper instructions to be followed in the event the user smells
gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent
location.
What To Do If You Smell Gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• 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 the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer,
there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or
cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
Warning
Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents,
combustible detergents, or “all purpose” cleaner.
Explosion could result.
Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with
gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could
result.
Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or
flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.
Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic,
foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber
materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage
plastics or rubber and also may be a fire hazard.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection
and cleaning can best be determined from experience at
each location.
Do not operate steam dryers with more than 150 psi (10.34
bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can damage
the steam coil and/or harm personnel.
Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures
immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible
hoses. Personal injury may result.
Warning
The collection of lint in the burner area and
exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire
hazard.
For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local and/or country codes. In the absence
of these codes use the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST
EDITION.
Note
Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.
Warning
Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer
door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat safety circuit
ever be disabled.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.
Warning
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire
hazard.
For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its
rated capacity.
Warning
You must disconnect and lockout the electric
supply and the gas supply or the steam supply
before any covers or guards are removed from the
machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting,
installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA
standards.
Important
The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature
remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of gas appliances, which take their air for safe
combustion from the same room. If in doubt, consult the
appliance manufacturer(s).
Use this dryer only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics.
Warning
To reduce the risk of personal injury, install
lockable doors to prevent public access to the rear
of the dryers.

Important
The dryer should be located where a minimum
amount of exhaust ducting will be necessary.
The dryer must be installed with adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber.
Caution
This dryer produces combustible lint and must be
exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months,
inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
Important
The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature
remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
Unpacking/Setting Up _________________
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and
optional shipping box) from the dryer.
Important
Dryer must be transported and handled in an
upright position at all times.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached
to the skid or with the skid removed. To remove the skid from
the SLI9, simply lift the unit off of the skid; for the SLI14, SLI23,
or SLI34, locate and remove the 2 bolts securing the base of
the dryer to the wooden skid. One is located at the center
rear and the other is at the center front.
With the skid removed, use caution and assure all four
leveling legs are fully retracted if the dryer is to be slid into its
final position.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with 4 leveling legs, 1 at each corner of
the base. For optimum performance the dryer should be
level front-to-back and side-to-side.
Dryer Enclosure Requirements _______
Commercial Type II
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible
material.
Note
Allowances must be made for opening the control
door.
A The requirement to allow the door to open completely for
the SLI9 is 30-inches (76.2 cm), SLI14 is 33-inches (83.8
cm), and SLI23 and SLI34 is 40-inches (101.6 cm).
B A minimum overhead clearance of 6-inches (15.24 cm)

Domestic Type I (SLI9, SLI14, SLI23 Only)
!
!
!
!
A = 6-inches (15.24 cm) B = 24-inches (60.96 cm)
EXAMPLE: For SLI23, 2 unrestricted openings measuring
6-inches by 24-inches (15.24 cm by 60.96 cm) are acceptable.
If a closet door is installed: unobstructed air openings are
required. The air openings shall be located 3-inches
(7.62 cm) from the lower opening (above floor level) and upper
opening (below ceiling). The total free area of the air openings
in the door shall not be less than 130 inch2(838.708 cm2) for
SLI9; 179 inch2(1154.836 cm2) for SLI14; and 293 inch2
(1890.319 cm2) for SLI23. Louvered doors with equivalent
air openings are acceptable.
No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.
Fresh Air Supply Requirements _______
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it,
passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the
building. Therefore, the room air must be continually
replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is
inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely
affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering”
problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from
overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions for
adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration
to ensure proper performance of each dryer. As a general
rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors of 110
inch2(710 cm2) is required for each SLI34, 90 inch2(580 cm2)
for each SLI23, 55 inch2(354 cm2) for each SLI14, and 40
inch2(258 cm2) for each SLI9. (Based on 1 inch2[6.5 cm2] per
1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening
for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are
acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner
that the make-up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be increased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at high altitudes
or predominantly low pressure areas.
Note
Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.
A = 10-inches (25.4 cm) B = 11-inches (27.94 cm)
EXAMPLE: For a bank of 4 SLI14 dryers, 2 unrestricted
openings measuring 10-inches by 11-inches (25.4 cm by
27.94 cm) are acceptable.
Important
Make-up air must be free of dry cleaning solvent
fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry
cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to
the motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust Requirements ________________
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit
protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper
exhaust duct connection to the outside.
The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney,
wall, ceiling or concealed space of a building.
Caution
This dryer produces combustible lint and must be
exhausted to the outdoors.
Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can create
a potential fire hazard.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the
ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. There should be a minimum
6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the back guard and the
first bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or
independent dryer venting is recommended. It is suggested
that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45°
bends instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably
be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. All ductwork should
be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal
screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When
adding ducts, overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork
joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from
escaping into the building. Back draft dampers must be
installed in all commonly ducted systems. Inspection doors
should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork
for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
Important
It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans
not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.

16 Girbau, SA 113432-1
!
NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)
larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest
obstruction.
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
Important
For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional
area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each
dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a
“common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º
in the direction of airflow. The main duct should be tapered,
with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is
added.
A = 20 feet (6.10 meters)
B = SLI9 – 4-inches (10.16 cm)
SLI14 – 6-inches (15.24 cm)
SLI23, SLI34 – 8-inches (20.32 cm)
!
!
C = 12 feet (3.66 meters)
D = SLI9 – 4-inches (10.16 cm)
SLI14 – 6-inches (15.24 cm)
SLI23, SLI34 – 8-inches (20.32 cm)
!Important
Exhaust back pressure measured by a
manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct must
be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.6 in WC (1.48
mb).
Note
When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall,
ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct
(all the way around). The duct must be centered within this
opening.
As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type
2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or
other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be
equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts
made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge
(0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”
The ductwork for this appliance must be suitable for the
appliance category in accordance with national installation
regulations of the country of destination.
Outside Ductwork Protection
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the
weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed
where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels
vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the
weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.
In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct
between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (refer
to the diagram).
Important
Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Single Dryer Venting
Important
For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional
area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.
Horizontal Venting
When horizontal dryer venting is used, the length of the
ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet, must
not exceed 20 feet (6.10 meters). The minimum diameter of
this ductwork must be at least 4-inches (10.16 cm) for SLI9,
6-inches (15.24 cm) for SLI14, and 8-inches (20.32 cm) for
SLI23 and SLI34. Including tumbler/dryer elbow connections
or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no
more than 1 elbow should be used in the exhaust duct run. If
more than 1 elbow is used, the cross-sectional area of the
ductwork must be increased.
!
Vertical Venting
When vertical dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork
from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet, must not exceed
12 feet (3.66 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork
must be at least 4-inches (10.16 cm) for SLI9, 6-inches (15.24
cm) for SLI14, and 8-inches (20.32 cm) for SLI23 and SLI34.
Including tumbler/dryer elbow connections or elbows used
for outside protection from the weather, no more than 3
elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than
3 elbows are used, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork
must be increased.

113432-1 [email protected] 17
Important
No more than 4 dryers should be connected to 1
main common duct.
The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional
area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures
must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to
where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 12 feet (3.656
meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it.
!
NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)
larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes,
grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the
NationalElectricalCodeANSI/NFPANO.70-LATESTEDITION,
or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable
Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2
CSAC22.1-1990 or LATESTEDITION. Thegroundconnection
may be to a proven earth ground at the location service panel.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested
that a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a
grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or hot
water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have
metal-to-metal connection all the way to the electrical ground.
If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter,
pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they
must be jumped out with a wire (size per local codes) and
securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
Important
For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer
must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
Warning
Electrical Grounding Instructions – This dryer is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
For CE Models Only
The means for disconnection from the supply must be
incorporated into wiring having a minimum contact separation
of 3.0mm in all poles.
Single-Phase (1ø)
Wiring Connections/Hookup
The electrical input connections are made into the rear service
box located at the upper right area of the dryer. The ground
connection is made to the copper lug, also provided in this
box. To gain access, the service box cover must be removed.

200-240V Application without Neutral
!Caution
The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug has
been provided for this purpose.
Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the
dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s
data label.
Important
A strain relief must be used where the input wiring
enters the oven assembly.
Electrically Heated Models Only
The electrical input connections are made at the rear service
box located at the right upper section of the dryer. The ground
connection is made to a copper lug also provided in this
area. To gain access, remove rear service cover.
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the
3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes neutral)
and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuit
and for any single-phase (1ø) motors (if present) is done
internally to the dryer by the factory at the oven contactor. No
single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a 3-phase
(3ø) dryer.
The neutral will only be used on 4-wire service. This is typical
for 380-416V, 50 Hz.
Caution
The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug has
been provided for this purpose.
Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the
dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s
data label.

Gas Information _______________________
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections,
materials, and workmanship conform to local and state
regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the
absence of such codes, all plumbing connections, materials,
and workmanship must conform to the applicable local
requirements. In the USA this is the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian
Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or
CAN/CGAB149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATESTEDITION.
In Australia, the fuel gas code is AS 5601/AG 601, local
authority, gas, electricity, and any other relevant statutory
regulations.
It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable
pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the
total amount of all the appliance Btu being supplied.
Important
Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances,
and/or the requirements stipulated in this manual,
can result in personal injury and improper operation of the
dryer.

!Important
For ease of service, the individual gas supply line
of each dryer must have its own manual shutoff
valve.
The dryer and its 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 (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE
dryers.
Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as
noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve,
voiding the warranty.
Note
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.
Warning
Fire or explosion could result due to failure of
isolating or disconnecting the gas supply as noted.
Note
Undersized gas piping will result in ignition
problems, slow drying, increased use of energy,
and can create a safety hazard.
The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated
on the data label and pressure must be confirmed. If this
information does not agree with the type of gas available, do
not operate the dryer. Contact the reseller who sold the dryer
or contact the manufacturer.
The input ratings shown on the data label are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements
of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time the
dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or
conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet
(610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this
conversion is necessary, contact the reseller who sold the
dryer or contact the manufacturer.
Important
If connection to this appliance is made with a
flexible hose, it must be suitable for the appliance
category in accordance with national installation
regulations of the country of destination, and if in doubt the
installer must contact the supplier. The manufacturer of
this appliance does not recommend the use of flexible gas
supply line/hose. An external gas supply shutoff must be
provided.
CE Dryers
There is an N.P.T. to B.S.P.T. adaptor included with each dryer,
which must be installed to the gas inlet. The adaptor is
shipped in the tumbler.
Important
Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural, propane, and butane gases must be used.
