Installing CE Gas Drying Tumble
Dryers
General Information
This information is to be used when installing gas
tumble dryers in countries and/or on gases different
than the machine’s factory configuration. Tumble
dryers are supplied from the factory for operation on
Natural Gas 1000 Btu/cu. ft. (8914 kcal/m
Gas 2500 Btu/cu. ft. (22,250 kcal/m
of GB/IE/PT/ES/IT/GR/LU/CH. To install machines
in any other country, or on any other gas, requires
some level of modification.
Machines are built in two different configurations:
•Natural Gas – regulated/governor
•Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas – not regulated/
no governor
Machines configured for Natural Gas (regulator/
governor) may be converted to L.P. Gas (not regulated/
no governor) with block-open kit, Part No. M400763.
Serial plates supplied from the factory are configured
for GB/IE/PT/ES/IT/GR/LU/CH. These instructions
pertain to the situations when the country of use or gas
supply is different than that on the serial plate.
Tab l e 1 describes the different gases that are available
in different CE countries, and how the machines need
to be configured to operate with those gases. In the
CE, there are Natural Gas configurations that do not
allow for machine regulation and L.P. Gas
configurations that must be regulated. For L.P. Gas,
third family B/P at 50 mbar, order Regulated Natural
Gas machines and convert according to Tab l e 1 .

regulator cap. Refer to Figure 12.
A drying tumble dryer produces
combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire,
the tumble dryer must be exhausted to the
outdoors.
W057R1
To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation
of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust
tumble dryer air into a window well, gas
vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated
area such as an attic wall, ceiling, crawl
space under a building, or concealed
space of a building.
W059R1
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, we do not recommend
installation of in-line secondary lint filters
or lint collectors. If secondary systems
are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
W355
Layout
Whenever possible, install tumble dryers along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a
minimum, and make-up air can be easily accessed.
Construction must not block the airflow at the rear of
the tumble dryer. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the tumble dryer combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A tumble dryer is forced air exhausted and requires
provisions for make-up air to replace air exhausted by
tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
Required Make-Up Air Opening
(to the outside) for Each Tumble Dryer
Venting
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure.
Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will
decrease tumble dryer efficiency and may void
machine warranty.
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumble dryer air must be exhausted to
the outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth, so the joints do not permit the accumulation
of lint. DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or Type B ducts rigid metal ducts are recommended. Use exhaust ducts
made of sheet metal or other noncombustible material.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on
exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct and
catch lint. Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams
and joints is recommended, if allowed by local codes.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumble dryer(s).

Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
Make-up air openings in rooms containing tumble
dryer(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other
gravity vented appliances must be increased
sufficiently to prevent downdrafts in any of the vents
when all tumble dryers are in operation. Do not locate
gravity vented appliances between tumble dryer(s) and
make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct makeup air to tumble dryer(s), increase area of duct work by
25% to compensate for restrictions in air movement.
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to Figure 15.
70420301 (EN)

Exhaust Requirements
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do
not install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumble dryers. It is better to have the water heater
in a separate room with a separate air inlet.
Individual Venting
For maximum efficiency and performance, it is
preferred to exhaust tumble dryer(s) individually to the
outdoors.
IMPORTANT: At no point may the cross sectional
area of installed venting be less than the cross
sectional area of the exhaust outlet of the tumble
dryer.
The exhaust duct must be designed so the static back
pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm) from the
exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker
on the rear of the tumble dryer.
NOTE: Static back pressure must be measured
with the tumble dryer running.
airborne. If 1200 feet per minute (366 m/min.)
cannot be maintained, schedule monthly
inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.
NOTE: The maximum length of a flexible metal
duct must not exceed 7.87 ft. (2.4 m) as required to
meet UL2158, clause 7.3.2A.
Manifold Venting
While it is preferable to exhaust tumble dryers
individually to the outdoors, a main collector duct may
be used if it is sized according to Figure 16 and Figure
17. This illustration indicates minimum diameters, and
should be increased if the collector length exceeds 14
feet (4.3 m) and two 90° elbows. The diameter of a
round duct must be increased by 10% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Cross sectional area of a
rectangular or square duct must be increased 20% for
each additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Refer to Tabl e 3 and
Tab l e 4 to determine equivalent ducting sizing. The
collector duct may be rectangular or square in cross
section, as long as the area is not reduced. Provisions
MUST be made for lint removal and cleaning of the
collector duct.
The maximum allowable length venting is 14 feet (4.3 m)
and two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the equivalent
length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the
maximum allowable equivalent length, the diameter of
a round duct must be increased by 10% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Cross section area of a
rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Refer to Table 2 to
determine equivalent venting.

Example: A 12 inch (305 mm) diameter duct’s
equivalent length of 14 feet (4.3 m) of duct and two
90° elbows is:
The vent collector system must be designed so the
static back pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm)
from the exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure of 0.5 W.C.I. (1.3 mbar) as
specified on the installation sticker on the rear of
tumble dryer. Static back pressure must be measured
with all tumble dryers vented into the collector
operating.
NOTE: Never connect a tumble dryer duct at a 90°
angle to the collector duct. Refer to Figure 14.
Doing so will cause excessive back pressure,
resulting in poor performance. Never connect two
tumble dryer exhaust ducts directly across from
each other at the point of entry to the collector
duct.
With the tumble dryer in operation, airflow at any
point in the duct should be at least 1200 feet per
minute (366 m/min.) to ensure that lint remains
airborne. If 1200 feet per minute (366 m/min.)
cannot be maintained, schedule monthly
inspections and cleaning of the ductwork.
Equivalent Length = 14 feet + (2) 90° elbows
= 14 feet + 14 feet + 14 feet

appropriate ground location.
Electrical Requirements
•Metal conduit and/or BX cable is not considered
ground.
•Connecting the Neutral from the electrical
service box to the tumble dryer ground screw
does not constitute a ground.
•A dedicated ground conduit (wire) must be
connected between the electrical service box
ground bar and tumble dryer ground screw.
For CE Models Only
All OPL (non-vend) models are factory-equipped with
an emergency stop button on the front panel.
NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop switch
stops all machine control circuit functions, but
DOES NOT remove all electrical power from
machine.
The following steps outline the procedure for
connecting the electrical service to the tumble dryer.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
junction box.
1. Install a circuit breaker as close to the tumble
dryer as possible. If more than one tumble dryer
is being installed, a circuit breaker should be
provided for each. This will make it possible to
disconnect each tumble dryer for maintenance
purposes.
2. Connect the conduit-encased leads to the circuit
breaker. Connect the wire leads to the appropriate
labeled terminal on the terminal block. The
ground wire must be connected to the ground
connection as shown in Figure 20.
3. Check the electrical service phase sequence
(three phase only) as follows:
a. Energize the electrical service (on reversing
tumble dryers, ensure nonreversing is
selected) and momentarily start the tumble
dryer. Check the direction of the cylinder
rotation. If the cylinder rotates clockwise
(viewed from the front), the phase sequence is
correct. If the cylinder rotates
counterclockwise, proceed with step b.
NOTE: When viewed from the front, the
fan should rotate clockwise on 50 and 75
pound models and counterclockwise on F75
models.
b. Disconnect and reverse any two service leads
on the terminal block (example: switch L2
and L3 on terminal block).
Changing the transformer configuration jumper is
required, PRIOR TO SUPPLYING POWER TO

connected to its own individual branch circuit
breaker, not fuses, to avoid the possibility of “single
phasing” and causing premature failure of the
motor(s).
NOTE: Machines require a constant 80 to 100 psig
(5.62 to 7.03 kg/sq cm) steam service for optimum
operation. The maximum allowable steam pressure
for use with 60 Hertz or 50 Hertz tumble dryers is
125 psig (8.6 bar). In no case may the pressure
exceed the above value. Drying performance is
significantly reduced at lower steam pressures.
Obtain specific steam service pipe sizes from steam
system supplier or a qualified steam fitter.
•Refer to Figure 22 for proper steam pipe
configurations.
•To prevent condensate draining from headers to
tumble dryer, piping should have a minimum 12
inch (305 mm) rise above respective header. Do
not make steam connection to header with a
horizontal or downward facing tee or elbow.
•Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam
lines must drain, by gravity, to respective steam
header. Water pockets, or an improperly drained
steam header will provide wet steam, causing
improper operation of tumble dryer. If pockets or
improper drainage cannot be eliminated, install a
bypass trap to drain condensate from the low
point in the steam header to the return.
•Install vacuum breaker (optional), bucket trap
with built-in strainer and check valve. For
successful operation of tumble dryer, install trap
18 inches (457 mm) below coil and as near to the
tumble dryer as possible. Inspect trap carefully
for inlet and outlet markings and install
according to trap manufacturer's instructions. If
steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap but
install vacuum breaker and check valve in return
line near tumble dryer. Gravity return requires
entire return plumbing be below steam coil
outlets.
•Install union and shut-off valve in return line and
make final pipe connections to return header.
NOTE: To prevent water hammering, route return
lines below outlets of steam coils.
•In both steam supply and steam return line, it is
recommended that each have a pipe union and
shut-off valve. This will enable you to disconnect
the steam connections and service the tumble
dryer while your laundry facility is in operation.
•Connect the steam solenoid valve to the related
steam coil inlet connection with nipples, flex
hoses, unions and tees.
•Strainers may require cleaning due to materials
from hoses or pipes.
All system components must have a
125 psig (8.6 bar) working pressure.
Shut-off valves must be installed upstream
of the steam solenoid valve and
downstream of each steam trap so
components can be isolated for
maintenance or emergency purposes.
All components (solenoid valve, traps)
must be supported to minimize loads on
the tumble dryer steam coil connections.
W480R2
WARNING
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
coil outlet connections and steam traps
must have a minimum of 125 psig
(pounds per square inch gauge) (8.79 kg/
sq. cm.) working pressure. A shut-off
valve must be installed downstream from
each steam trap so the condensate return
line can be isolated in event a steam trap
requires maintenance.
Each steam trap must be supported so
minimum load is exerted on the coil outlet
connection.

Piping Recommendations
•Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep
the trap clean and in good working condition.
•When tumble dryer is on the end of a line of
equipment, extend header at least 4 feet (1.2 m)
beyond tumble dryer. Install shut-off valve,
union, check valve and bypass trap at end of line.
If gravity return to boiler, omit trap.
•Insulate steam supply and return lines for safety
of operator and safety while servicing tumble
dryer.
•Keep tumble dryer in good working condition.
Repair or replace any worn or defective parts.

Condensate Return Connections
6. For steam solenoid valve wiring connections,
refer to Wiring Diagram supplied with tumble
dryer.
Thermal Oil Prep
It is the responsibility of the customer to install
appropriate coil and heating system for thermal oil
prep models. Alliance Laundry Systems, LLC. is not
responsible for the performance or safety of the
customer installed thermal oil system. To ensure
proper operation, refer to the Specifications and Dimensions section for the BTU input of equivalent
steam models. Thermal oil systems that do not deliver
appropriate BTUs will dry slower. For solenoid valve
wiring connections, refer to the Wiring Diagram
supplied with tumble dryer.
The steam trap must be installed and the coil outlet
connections must be connected to the condensate
return lines. The following steps outline the procedure
for installing the steam trap and connecting the
condensate return lines. Refer to Figure 22 for typical
installations.
1. Use flexible lines between steam inlet solenoid
and steam coils, as well as outlet between steam
coil and traps.
2. If necessary, install a strainer at the end of each
flexible hose.
3. Install a steam trap to each strainer.
IMPORTANT: Steam trap must be installed a
minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) below the steam
coil outlet connections.
NOTE: The following information is for
models with an SD control suffix only.
Power-Up Mode
When power is applied to the tumble dryer, the IN
USE light flashes factory status information.
Following this, the control goes into READY Mode
(light off) or RUN Mode if power was interrupted
during a cycle (light on, time remaining unchanged).
Ready Mode
In READY Mode (light off), the control waits for the
vend to be satisfied. When vend is satisfied the control
goes into START Mode.
Start Mode
In START Mode (light on), the vend has been satisfied
but the start button has not been pressed. Time
remaining in the cycle will not change until the start
button is pressed. When the start button is pressed the
machine goes into RUN Mode.
Run Mode
In RUN Mode (light on), the machine is running a
cycle and the time remaining is counting down. When
time remaining counts down to zero, the control goes
into READY Mode.
Setting Dry Time Dipswitches

The seventh switch is used to program the amount
of additional cool down time. The additional cool
down time is added to the factory default minimum
cool down time of 1 minute. A value of 3 additional
minutes is available. The control is shipped from
the factory programmed with 1 minute of minimum
heat time, preset with 7 additional minutes of drying
time (dipswitches 1, 2 and 3 in ON position) and 1
minute of minimum cool down time for a total time
of 9 minutes for a coin pulse. For dipswitch settings
refer to Table 12.
The eight switch is used for the cycle reset. If the
switch is OFF (default), the control will save the
time left on a cycle in case of a power failure. If the
switch is ON, the control will clear the cycle and go
back to Ready Mode if there is a power failure.
The control reads the dipswitch settings at power-up.
The control must be powered down to change the
dipswitch settings.
To change the time for a coin pulse, the desired dry
time dipswitches must be set to ON position. All other
dipswitches must be in OFF position.
NOTE: The control must be powered down for 10
seconds before the dipswitches can be changed.
Resetting Cycle Time to Zero

Gas Burner Air Shutter
NOTE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system
for proper combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutters be sure that all
lint is removed from lint compartments and lint
screen.
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.
Air shutter adjustments will vary from location to
location and will depend on the vent system, number
of units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure.
Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary
air supplied to the burner while closing the shutter
decreases the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as
follows:
Refer to Figure 23.
1. Open the access panel and remove the burner
inspection hole plate.
2. Start the tumble dryer and check the flame
pattern. If the flame pattern is straight up,
insufficient air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. A flame pattern that flares to the right and
left indicates no air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if
the flame pattern is primarily blue, with small
yellow tips, and bends to the right of the heater
section. Too little air is indicated if the flame if
yellow, lazy and smokey.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter
adjusting screw.
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain
proper flame intensity.
The tumble dryer must not be operated if
the airflow switch does not operate
properly. Faulty airflow switch operation
may cause an explosive gas mixture to
collect in the tumble dryer.

Airflow Switch
The airflow switch is set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment necessary.
The airflow switch operation may be affected by
shipping tape still in place, lack of make-up air, or an
obstruction in the exhaust duct. These should be
checked and the required corrective action taken.
IMPORTANT: Airflow switch vane must remain
closed during operation. If it opens and closes
during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient
airflow through the tumble dryer. If switch remains
open, or pops open and closed during the cycle, the
heating system will shut off. The cylinder and fan
will continue to operate even though the airflow
switch is indicating insufficient airflow.
Loading Door Switch
Loading door switch is factory preset, no field
adjustment is necessary.
Loading Door Catch
The door catch must be adjusted to have sufficient
tension to hold loading door closed against force of load
tumbling against it. Proper adjustment is when 8 to
15 pounds (35.6 N – 66.7 N) pull is required to open
door.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 24 and
proceed as follows:
To adjust, open door, loosen acorn nut and turn door
strike screw in or out as required. Tighten acorn nut.
NOTE: To properly mount the airflow switch
bracket, or in case of a load not drying, the airflow
switch bracket may need to be checked for proper
alignment. Be sure the locator pins are securely in
their respective holes before tightening the bracket
mounting screws. This will assure proper
alignment of the airflow switch arm in the channel
of the airflow switch bracket and prevent binding
of the arm.
Proper tension is when the drive V-belt can be
depressed approximately 0.5 inch (13 mm) by
applying light thumb pressure at a point midway
between the sheave and motor pulley.
1. Remove guard from rear of tumble dryer.
2. To adjust belt tension, loosen idler housing bolts
holding idler housing assembly to the guide rails.
3. Position housing assembly by turning adjusting
