WARNING: Be safe, before servicing machine, the main power should be shut off.

Page 2

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 Manufacturer’s 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.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION WILL OCCUR. NEVER PUT FABRICS TREATED 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)

UNPACKING

GENERAL
INSTALLATION (ALL
DRYERS)

Upon arrival of the equipment, any damage in shipment should be
reported to the carrier immediately.

Upon locating permanent location of a unit, care should be taken in
movement and placement of equipment.

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.

IMPORTANT
Opening the clothes loading door deactivates the door switch
to shut off the motors, fan, gas, steam, or electric element. To
restart the dryer, close the door and press in the push to start
button and hold briefly.

IMPORTANT
This dryer is designed for a capacity maximum load.
Overloading it will result in long drying times and damp spots
on some clothes.

IMPORTANT
Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air
circulation. The lint screen must be kept cleaned daily to
insure proper air circulation throughout the dryer.

IMPORTANT
Provide adequate clearance for air opening into the combustion
chamber.

Unpacking/General Installation (All Dryers)

GENERAL
INFORMATION

DRYER
“COOL-DOWN”
CYCLE

The dryer is so designed that when an operator opens the dryer
door, the basket and exhaust fan stop. You can expect fast drying
from a laundry dryer. Hot, dry air is properly and effectively
moved through the basket and exhausted through a lint trap to the
atmosphere. The dryer comes equipped with an inclined self­cleaning lint screen. In this system, lint accumulates on the
underside of the screen until a 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.

IMPORTANT
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion
chamber.

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 automatically takes
over and continues the rotation of the fan and basket without heat
until the garment load reaches a safe cool temperature. This
function is performed at the end of each drying cycle and continues
for two minutes.

REPLACEMENT
PARTS

Replacement parts for this dryer are available from your distributor
or by contracting the factory at the address or phone number printed
on the cover page of this manual.

ONLY CISSELL PARTS SHOULD BE USED.

Steam Piping - Installation Insatructions

STEAM PIPING­INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set and anchor dryer in position. Machine should be level to assure proper
steam circulation.

2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to dryer, piping should have
a minimum 12" (305 mm) above respective header. Do not make steam
connection to header with a horizontal or downwardly facing tee or elbow.

3. 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 dryer.
If pockets or improper drainage cannot be eliminated, install a bypass trap
to drain condensate from the low point in the steam supply header to the
return.

4. In both steam supply and steam return line, it is recommended that each
have a 3/4" 20 mm) union and 3/4" (20 mm) globe valve. This will enable
you to disconnect the steam connections and service the dryer while your
plant is in operation.

5. Before connecting trap and check valve to dryer, open globe valve in
steam supply line and allow steam to flow through dryer to flush out any
dirt and scale from dryer. This will assure proper operation of trap when
connected.

6. After flushing system, install bucket trap (with built-in strainer) and check
valve. For successful operation of dryer, install trap 18" (457 mm) below
coil and as near to the 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
check valve in return line near dryer.

PIPING
RECOMMENDATIONS

7. Install union and globe valve in return line and make final pipe
connections to return header.

1. Trap each dryer individually. Always keep the trap clean and in good
working condition.

2. When dryer is on the end of a line of equipment, extend header at least 4
feet beyond dryer. Install globe valve, union, check valve and bypass trap at
end of line. If gravity returned 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.
