WARNINGS ABOUT USE AND OPERATION
It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that the dryer be grounded to a known earth (zero)
ground. This is not only for personal safety, but is necessary for proper operation.
KEEP SHIELDS, GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE. These safety devices are
provided to protect everyone from injury.
A DRYER SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO POWER FOR THREE (3) MINUTES
before it is operated or before a program change is made. Operation or program changes, which
occur during this "power up" period, are subject to loss in case of power interruption. After the
initial three minutes, all programmed data is protected from power interruptions of any length
and the customer's individual cycle is protected up to 3 seconds. This is done without batteries.
LEAVE THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE DRYER ON AT ALL TIMES except
when necessary for service or other similar activities. The hour meter function adds only full
hours to its reading. If the power is shut off every night, any fraction of an hour of time that is on
the machine at that time will be lost. Turning the power off every night could also have some
effect on the long-term life of the memory after a number of years. Turning power off
occasionally won’t affect the unit.
THIS DRYER IS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUALLY RESETTABLE OVERTEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT located on the end of the burner housing below the gas valve.
Should the dryer cease to heat, reset the thermostat by inserting a wooden (nonconductive)
pencil or dowel through the guide bushing in the cover. Should the thermostat continue to trip,
the dryer must be inspected by a qualified service person.
CHECK THIS THERMOSTAT WHEN INSTALLING DRYER to assure it is not
tripped. Impacts, such as rough handling in shipment, may trip the thermostat. It may be reset by
inserting a wooden (nonconductive) pencil or dowel through the guide bushing in the cover.
