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

Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer, there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method, should not be dried in it.

Warning

!Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents,

combustible detergents, or “all purpose” cleaner. Explosion could result.

Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could result.

Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.

Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage plastics or rubber and also may be a fire hazard.

A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location.

Do not operate steam dryers with more than 150 psi (10.34 bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can damage the steam coil and/or harm personnel.

Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible hoses. Personal injury may result.

Warning

ever be disabled.

Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle has been completed.

Warning

!Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling cycles have been completed can create a fire

hazard.

For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its rated capacity.
