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 Manufacturers 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.
FIREAND EXPLOSION WILL OCCUR. NEVER PUT FABRICSTREATED WITH THESE LIQUIDS
INTO THE DRYER. NEVER USE THESE LIQUIDS NEAR THE DRYER..
WARNING: Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated
with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any user maintenance other than cleaning the lint trap. Turning the controls to the
OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.

Unpacking/General Installation (All Dryers)
Uponarrivalof the equipment, anydamageinshipmentshould 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.
The construction of the 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 combustable 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 dryer is so designed that when an operator opens the dryer door,
thebasket and exhaust fan stops. You canexpectfastdrying from a
laundry dryer. Hot, dry air is properly and effectively moved through
thebasket and exhausted throughalinttrap to the atmosphere.The
dryer comes equipped with an inclined, self-cleaning lint screen. In
this system, lint accumulates on the underside of the screen until a
blanket approximately 1/4” (6 mm) 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 prevent an over
accumulation.
Permanent press, durable press and other modern day fabrics require
the care that your laundry dryers now provide.
At the end of the drying cycle, a timed “cool-down” control
automaticallytakesoverandcontinues the rotation of the fan and
basket without heat until the garment load reaches a safe cool
temperature.This function is performed at the endof eachdrying
cycleandcontinues for two minutes.
Dryers must be electrically grounded by a separate #14 or larger
greenwirefromthe grounding terminal within the service connection
box to a cold water pipe, or through the fourth green wire properly
groundedandconnected to the grounding terminal. Inallcases,the

See wiring diagram furnished with dryer. Your dryer is completely
wired at the factory and it is only necessary for the electrician to
connect the power leads to the wire connectors within the service
connection box on the rear of the dryer. Do not change wiring

CONTROLS SERVICING Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Attention. Lors des operations d’entretien des commandes,

Piping Recommendations
1. Trap each dryer individually. Always keep the trap clean
andingoodworkingcondition.
2. When dryer is on the end of a line of equipment, extend
header at least 4 feet (1.22 m) 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,
ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Codes.
2. Check identification nameplate for type of gas for dryer.
3. Checkthe altitude 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,11 inches (27 mbar) water columnmaximum. Manifold
pressure—3.5 inches (8.7 mbar) water column pressure.

INSTALLATION

Page 19
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 psi (3.5 kPa).
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
than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Page 20
The size of the gas service pipe is dependant 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
furnished on gas heated clothes dryers. This regulator 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.
