WARNING
Installation
Fresh Air Supply Requirements
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler, and
exhausts it out of the building. The room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors
(make-up air). Replenishment of room air via HVAC systems is not acceptable. If the make-up air is
inadequate - product reliability, drying time and drying efciency may be adversely affected. Ignition
issues may also result in gas heated models.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each
dryer. Fresh air ventilation openings shall not be blocked and/or sealed. Generally, an unrestricted
air entrance from the outdoors of 26 inch
2
(168 cm
2
) for each dryer. (Based on 1 inch
2
[6.5 cm
2
] per
1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air
openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is
distributed equally to all the dryers.
To compensate for the use of louvers used over the openings, this area must be increased by the
amount recommended by the supplier of the louvers. Make-up air openings should not be located in
an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at
high altitudes or predominantly low-pressure areas.
IMPORTANT
Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will void the warranty.
Exhaust Requirements
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by qualied professional. Improperly sized
ductwork will create excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying, increased use of energy,
and possible shutdown of the dryer by a hi-limit thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a
proper exhaust duct connection leading to the outdoors.
The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space of a
building.
The condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold shall either be retained and
subsequently re-evaporated or discharged.
WARNING
• This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can create a potential re hazard.
• Use only smooth-walled metal ducting.
• Failure to install back draft dampers in shared dryer exhaust ducts can cause hazardous
conditions such backow of combustible gases.
The ductwork should be installed in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible
to the outdoors. There should be a minimum 6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the back guard
and the rst bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or independent dryer venting is
recommended. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° bends
2:3
Installation
2:4
wherever possible. All ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal
screws or other obstructions, which will result in lint accumulation. Duct sections must be oriented
for proper airow (consult duct supplier) and all joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint
from escaping. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for
periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
IMPORTANT
• It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.
If an exhaust booster fan is required, care must be taken to meet all other installation
requirements.
• Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer must be no less than 0 and must not exceed
0.6 in WC (1.5 mb).
• Do not obstruct the ow of makeup and exhaust air.
• Check backdraft dampers in the exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation,
which can cause the damper to bind or stick.
• A back-draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
the machine due to activation of a high limit thermostat.
IMPORTANT
When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof, installation must comply with
applicable local and national codes.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code and applicable local codes for ducting requirements.
Outside Ductwork Protection
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward
should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up
through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening
downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening
and the nearest obstruction.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Single Dryer Venting
IMPORTANT
For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional
HVAC rm should be consulted for proper venting design.
Horizontal Venting
If the dryer is installed using horizontal dryer venting, the overall length of the ductwork from
the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet, must not exceed 20 feet (6 meters). The diameter of this
Installation
ductwork must be 4-inches (10 cm). No more than 1 elbow should be used in the exhaust duct run
(including tumbler/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather).
If more than 1 elbow is used, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased.
Vertical Venting
If vertical dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust
outlet, must not exceed 12 feet (3.5 meters). The diameter of this ductwork must be 4-inches
(10 cm). No more than 3 elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run (including tumbler/dryer
elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather). If more than 3 elbows
are used, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased.
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers
may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side
of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º in the direction of airow. The main duct should be
tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is added. The multiple dryers must
have separate backdraft dampers when connected through a shared venting.
IMPORTANT
• No more than four dryers should be connected to one main common duct.
The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer round or square
venting. These gures must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it
exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 12 feet (3.5 meters) or has more than one elbow in it.
NOTE
• Clearance to surfaces adjacent to ductwork must comply with applicable national and local
codes.
• Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest obstruction.

WARNING
• Fire or explosion could result due to failure to isolate or disconnect the gas supply as noted.
The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the data label and the correct
pressure must be conrmed. If this is not possible, do not connect the dryer. Contact the reseller
who sold the dryer or the manufacturer.
Heat Input / Gas Consumption/Orice (Injector) Data
Consistent gas pressure is essential at all dryer gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-
inch (19mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. For natural
gas installation an in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line if the gas
pressure exceeds 10.0 in WC (25 mb) pressure.
A plugged tap, accessible for a pressure gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas
supply line immediately upstream of the dryers.

Gas Pressure Adjustment
Disconnect electrical power to the dryer.
Gas (burner) pressures are measured with the burner in operation for all burner adjustment
conditions. Therefore once the necessary adjustments have been made, the dryer must be
operated in a heating cycle to verify that the pressure is correct. If it is not correct, you must
discontinue the power to the unit and make further adjustments. Repeat these steps as many
times as necessary to achieve the correct burner pressure. Once the adjustment of the valve
is complete, the vent cap must be replaced and sealed with, for example, paint to prevent
maladjustment by the user.
Gas Pressure Testing
For proper operation, the gas supply and regulated pressures must be correct. Verify correct
pressure according to the instructions below. This procedure must be carried out by qualied,
licensed personnel.
WARNING
• Turn gas shutoff valve in gas supply line to “OFF” position.
• Install a pressure tap tting and attach a manometer.
• Turn gas shutoff valve to “ON” position
• Start the dryer in Heat Mode and wait for ignition. Gas manifold pressure should be specied
for the applicable fuel.
If the gas pressure needs to be adjusted, refer to “Gas Pressure Adjustment” in this section.
• Once test is complete, turn shutoff-valve to “OFF” position. Remove manometer. Tighten
screw inside the pressure tap or install plug.
• Turn gas shutoff-valve to “ON” position and check for leaks with soap solution with at the
pressure tap with the burner on.
Pre Operational Instructions
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
• Read all “IMPORTANT” AND “WARNING” labels attached to the dryer.
• Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the data label.
• GAS MODELS – Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of gas indicated on
the dryer data label.
• GAS MODELS – Be sure that all gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
• Be sure all back panels (guards) and electric box covers are in place.
• Be sure the service doors are closed and securely in place.
• Be sure the lint lter is securely in place.
• Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand in both directions to be sure it moves freely.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and ttings for tightness and security.
• Check that the vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted to the outdoors.
Function Checks
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a 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.
Gas Dryers
• Open all shutoff valves.
• Turn on electric power to the dryer.
• Run the “No Heat” drying program and check if the drum is rotating properly.
• Run the “Low Heat” and to check the Ignition.
• Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
When a gas dryer is rst started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the rst
ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is lled with air, so it may take a few minutes
for the air to be purged from the lines.
NOTE
• During the purging period, check to be sure that all gas shutoff valves are open.
• A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that
the water column pressure is correct and consistent.
• Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body)
must be veried.
• Dryers congured for L.P. operation do not have a regulator. The water column pressure must
be regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each dryer’s
L.P. connection line.

Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal
of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency
of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating
efciency is dependent upon proper airow. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airow. If
the guidelines in this section are met, the dryer will provide many years of efcient, trouble free,
and most importantly, safe operation.
Daily
• Clean the lint screen after each load.
Weekly
• Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, and temperature sensor area.
• See illustration below.
• Clean the door gasket.
• Use a soft wash cloth and mild detergent to clean door.
Every Third Month
• Disconnect Power.
• Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
• Vacuum make up air inlet holes. On removing the lint lter from the lint compartment, clean
lint in the lint compartment.
• Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing opening.
• NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching ignitor/ame-probe assembly.

Preventive Maintenance
6:2
Every 6 Months (Refer this service to qualied personnel)
• Inspect and remove lint accumulation external exhaust ductwork and from dryer’s internal
exhaust ducting.
• The accumulation of lint in the exhaust ductwork can create a potential re hazard.
• Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the
exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which can cause the damper
to bind or stick. Obstructed ducting leads to longer drying times, higher energy consumption.
and reduced motor life
• If ducting is highly obstructed with lint change to a shorter service interval such as every
three months.
• A back-draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and the
shutdown of heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
• When cleaning the dryer cabinet, avoid using cleaners with harsh abrasives. A product
intended for appliance cleaning is recommended.
Every 12 Months
• A competent professional should inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding
connections and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orices).
• Belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced.
• Complete an operational check of controls and valves.
• Complete an operational check of all safety devices (lint door switch, door switch).
