DRYER SAFETY

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.

■■ This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other purpose.

■■ WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.

■■ 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.

■■ Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

■■ Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

■■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

■■ Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the dryer compartment.

■■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

■■ Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.

■■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

■■ Do not tamper with controls.

■■ Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

■■ Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.

■■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Installation Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills

to carry out.

■■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

■■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

■■ The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

■■ WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of spontaneous combustion).

■■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

■■ The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

■■ See “Electrical Requirements” section for grounding instructions.

Multiple Dryer Venting

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM) of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Make Gas Connection

1.Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.

2.Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.

If necessary for service, open the front lower service panel by using a 1/4" nutdriver to remove the 2 hex-head screws from the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.

3.Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

4.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Type of Gas

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is designcertified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner base.

Gas Supply Line

Recommended Method

Provide a gas supply line of 1⁄2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1⁄2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m2).

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3⁄8" (10 mm) approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation

codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3⁄8"

[10 mm] male pipe thread.)

NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line when moving the dryer.

Rigid Pipe Connection

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.

INSTALLING LEVELING LEGS, COIN SLIDE, AND COIN BOX

The coin slide mechanism, control panel lock and key, and coin box lock and key are not included and are available from usual industry sources. A special coin slide extension must be used on this model and can be purchased from the coin slide distributor.

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs

NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to avoid damaging floor covering.

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location.

Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with damp cloth to remove any dust.

Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

2. Screw in leveling legs

Examine leveling legs and find diamond marking. Screw legs into leg holes by hand. Use an adjustable wrench or

1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench to finish turning legs until diamond marking

is no longer visible. Then fit a covered foot

foot

boot over each leg foot.

 

To protect the floor, use a large piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

3. Install coin slide and coin box

Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key in the meter case opening.

Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
