Operating Instructions
Step 1: Clean Lint Screen/Compartment
Remove any accumulated lint from the lint screen and
compartment. Close panel tightly against tumbler
frame and lock panel securely, if applicable.
IMPORTANT: Clean lint screen and lint
compartment daily. Failure to clean the lint screen
daily will result in higher than normal
temperatures that may damage laundry.
Step 2: Load Laundry
Open loading door and load cylinder with laundry. DO
NOT OVERLOAD.

Temperature Setting
a. Press red emergency stop button to stop all
action.
b. To restart machine, pull red emergency stop
button out and press START pad or button.
NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop button
stops all machine control circuit functions, but
DOES NOT remove all electrical power from
machine.
Refer to the various controls, pages 12 - 19, and follow
instructions for the appropriate control type.
T30 models only: use the correct coin slot and control
panel for the top or bottom cylinder.
The type of fabric being dried will determine the
setting. Consult the fabric care label or fabric
manufacturer to determine proper temperature setting.
IMPORTANT: Always follow the fabric care
instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
Step 4: Remove Laundry
When the cycle is complete, open door and remove the
laundry.

3. When the cycle is complete, open door and
remove the laundry.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.
W002
Daily
1. Inspect the area surrounding tumblers, remove all
combustible materials, including lint, before
operating the machines.
2. Check cylinder for foreign objects to avoid
damage to clothing and equipment.
3. Clean lint from lint compartment and screen to
maintain proper airflow and avoid overheating.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not
open the lint panel while the tumbler is in
operation. Before cleaning the lint screen,
open tumbler door and allow cylinder to
completely stop.
a. Open the lint panel or pull out lint drawer.
b. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint
compartment area. Lightly brush any lint that
may be left on the lint screen. Lint left in the
lint compartment is drawn back onto the lint
screen and will restrict proper air circulation.
W410
c. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is,
replace immediately. A torn lint screen allows
lint to pass from the tumbler to the ductwork
system, thus creating a restriction to air
circulation.
d. The lint screen is designed to completely
cover the entire opening in the lint screen
panel. Be sure that it does so. Excessive gaps
between the lint screen and the lint screen
panel allow lint to pass into the ductwork
system.
e. Carefully wipe any accumulated lint off of the
cabinet high limit thermostat and thermistor.
Failure to do so will allow a buildup of lint in
this area to act as an insulator, causing the
tumbler to overheat. Refer to Figure 12.
f. Replace the lint compartment panel on the
tumbler ensuring a tight fit, and lock if
applicable.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.
Maintenance
W002
Monthly
1. Remove lint and debris from inside exhaust duct
to maintain proper airflow and avoid
overheating.
a. Remove external duct and duct access covers,
if present.
b. Clean inside of duct with a vacuum.

1. Use a vacuum to clean air vents on drive motors.
2. Use a vacuum to clean lint from rear limit
thermostat cover.
3. Refer to Service Manual on how to check and
clean steam coils, if applicable.
4. Check flow of combustion and ventilation air.
5. Check belt tension and condition. Replace worn
or cracked belts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
