I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.
1. To start the dryer:
a. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Dryers...
1) Light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will read “REAdY” (meaning no cycle in progress).
2) Press the letter on the keyboard (touch pad) corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., key “E”)...
a) The dryer will then start (rotate).
3) L.E.D. display will now show “Cycle In Progress” and “Cycle Status” meaning that the dryer is in
the drying cycle (dry mode for 30 minutes) and count downwards in minutes.
NOTE: Pressing keyboard (touch pad) key “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F,” will also start the dryer. The
six (6) preprogrammed drying cycles “A” through “F” have been stored in the microprocessor
controllers (computers) memory. Refer to the Programming Manual supplied with the dryer
for more specific operating instructions.
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door or by pressing the “STOP”
red key. To restart the dryer, press the “START” green key or a preprogrammed cycle
key (i.e., “E”).
NOTE: Selection (settings) changes can be made at any time during the drying cycle by pressing the
“STOP” red key twice. The L.E.D. display will return to “REAdY” at which time a
new cycle selection can be made.
2. Check to insure that the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the
direction of the blower motor (impellor/fan) to insure that blower motor (impellor/fan) rotates in the clockwise
(CW) direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse
two (2) of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer blower motor (impellor/fan) as viewed from the front must turn in the clockwise
(CW) direction, otherwise dryer efficiency will be drastically reduced and premature
component failure can result.
3. Heat Circuit Operational Test
a. Gas Models
1) When the dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner has a tendency not to ignite on the
first attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for
this air to be purged.
Press and hold the
