Heat Check
Electric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
Burner Flame
Gas Dryers
IMPORTANT: This operation to be conducted by
qualified personnel only.
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red
and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately one minute,
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
IMPORTANT: If igniter is not lit, make sure gas is
turned on.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to
the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Earthing Instructions
The dryer must be earthed. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. The dryer is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-earthing conductor and a 3 prong
earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed
in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer – if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
If the electrical supply does not meet the above
specifications and/or you are not sure your home has
an effective earth, have a qualified electrician or your
local electrical utility company check it and correct
any problems.
Improper connection of the equipment-
earthing conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt
as to whether the dryer is properly earthed.
