Position and Level the Tumble Dryer
Remove lint panel door, an d unscrew the four shipping
bolts (one at each corner). Remove tumble dryer from
skid.
NOTE: Do not throw bolts away – they are the
leveling legs.
Remove four nuts from the literature package, and
screw one fully on to each leveling leg.
Screw the four leveling legs (bolts) back into the level
adjusting fittings from the bottom.
Slide tumble dryer to its permanent location. Adjust
the leveling legs until the unit is level, or no more than
0.125 inch (3.18 mm) higher in the front. Refer to
Figure 3. Tumble Dryer must not rock. Lock leveling
legs with nuts previously installed.
NOTE: The front of the tumble dryer should be
slightly higher than the rear (approximately
0.125 inch [3.18 mm]). This will prevent the clothes,
while tumbling, from wearing on the door glass
gasket.
The stacked tumble dryer has a fifth leveling leg which
is shipped in the up position. The fifth leveling leg
MUST BE installed properly on the lower left side of
the blower housing to stabilize the tumble dryer . Refer
to Figure 4.
After leveling with the four cabinet leveling legs,
lower the fifth leveling leg so it contacts the floor, and
then secure the screws.
IMPORTANT: Keep tumble dryer as close to floor
as possible. The unit must rest firmly on floor so
weight of tumble dryer is evenly distributed.
Call your local water company or the proper municipal
authority for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have
ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified
professional to assure that the plumbing is
adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal
regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owner’s
responsibility to see that the necessary or required
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are
provided. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility
if the fire suppression system is not connected,
installed, or maintained properly.
Water Requirements
IMPORTANT: Water must be supplied to the fire
suppression system, or the fire suppression system
will not operate as intended.
Connection point to the electric water solenoid valve is
a 3/4 inch (19 mm) hose. The fire suppression system
equipped tumble dryer must be supplied with a
minimum water pipe size of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and be
provided with a
maximum of 120 psi (827 kPa) of pressure at all times.
Flowrate must be no less than, but approximately
15 gallons (57 liters) per minute.
minimum of 20 psi (138 kPa) and a
IMPORTANT: If temperature sensors inside the
tumble dryer register a temperature below 40°F
(4.4°C), the fire suppression system control will
lock out. This feature protects against operation of
the tumble dryer with a possible frozen water
supply. Only when the temperatur e sensors register
a temperature above 40°F (4.4°C) will the machine
reset for operation.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections will void the warranty. It is
recommended that a filter or strainer be installed
in the water supply line.
Water Connections
T wo hoses and a Y-valve are provided with the tumble
dryer to allow for connection of water supply to
tumble dryer. The water connections are made to the
bushings of the water solenoid valve, located on the
rear of the tumble dryer. The Y-valve provides a single
female hose connection (Standard US 3/4-11 1/2 NH
thread). Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 psi (138 kPa) will
cause low flow and water leakage at water solenoid
valve.
If the rear of the tumble dryer or the water supply is
located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/
freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to
protect these water lines from freezing.
IMPORTANT: Temperature of the water supply
must be kept between 40°F and 120°F (4.4°C and
48.9°C). If water in the supply line or water
solenoid valve freezes, the fire suppression system
will not operate.
