WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.

- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliances.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow thegas supplier's
instructions.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.

WARNING: In the event the user smells gas odor, instructions on what to do must be posted in a

prominent location. This information can be obtained from the local gas supplier.

WARNING: Wear Safety Shoes to prevent injuries.

WARNING: Purchaser must post the following notice in a prominent location:

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING: A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and should be exhausted outside the

building. The dryer and the area around the dryer should be kept free of lint.

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

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 Cissell 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: 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..

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 Cissell 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
curculation. 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.
