Check Heat Source

Electric Dryers

  1. Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the operation instructions).
  2. After the dryer has operated for three minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Gas Dryers

IMPORTANT: This operation is to be conducted by qualified personnel only.

  1. To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer.

  2. 2. Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to the operation instructions). The dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.

    • IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If this happens, after approximately two minutes igniter
      will again attempt gas ignition.

    • IMPORTANT: If igniter does not light, make sure gas is turned on.

  3. After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel.

  4. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

    • a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
    • b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellowtipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain
    • a steady, soft blue flame.
    • c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
  5. Reinstall the lower front panel.

    • WARNING
    • To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, lower front panel must be in place during normal operation.
  6. After the dryer has operated for approximately three minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
