or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause shock, burn
or cause death. Allow machine power to
remain off for two minutes prior to working
in and around AC inverter drive.
12. Always clean the lint filter daily.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
W359
14. The interior of the tumbler and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified

1. Read all instructions before using the tumbler.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the Installation Manual for the proper grounding
of the tumbler.
15. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Do not allow children on or in the tumbler. This
appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
16. Tumbler will not operate with the loading door
open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch to
permit the tumbler to operate with the door open.
The cylinder will stop rotating when the door is
opened. Do not use the tumbler if the cylinder
does not stop rotating when the door is opened or
starts rotating without pressing or turning the
START mechanism. Remove the tumbler from
use and call the service person.
5. Before the tumbler is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment and the door to the lint
compartment.

Safety Information
19. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable substances
such as machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home with dry-cleaning

Reversing Operation
IMPORTANT: After any electrical maintenance is
done, make sure that the blower motor is turning
counterclockwise. Then set the reverse control
switch to “nonreversing” and note that the cylinder
turns constantly clockwise as viewed from the front
of the tumbler. If not, interchange L1 and L2
service leads to reverse the drive motor.
Tumblers with the reversing option prevent the
tangling of large pieces of laundry and minimize
wrinkling. These tumblers are equipped with a second
motor and additional controls which reverse the
rotation direction of the cylinder.
Reverse Control Switch
An “on-off” switch for manual timer models, or a
touch pad for OPL Micro models is placed in the
control panel area so the operator can select the
reversing or nonreversing operation. In nonreversing
mode, the cylinder will always turn clockwise (as
viewed from the front of the tumbler). If the cylinder is
turning counterclockwise when switched to
nonreversing, it will continue for a few seconds and
then start up in the proper direction.

Operation
Termination of Flame
Ignition Control Operation
The flame will go out when power is removed from
ignition control. The ignition control will turn off the
gas valve and enter Standby Mode.
Power Up
After 24 VAC is applied to the ignition control pins
24V and GND, the Diagnostic LED on the ignition
control will turn orange/yellow. If a fault is detected
the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode. If no
faults are detected, the Diagnostic LED will turn
Green and the ignition control will enter Standby
Mode.
Lockout Mode
When Lockout Mode is entered, the ignition control
will remove power to the gas valve, the igniter will
turn off, the Lockout/Reset Light will turn on, and the
Diagnostic LED will display the appropriate Error
Code.
Standby Mode
Lockout Manual Reset
While in Standby Mode, the ignition control will
continually monitor the system for faults. Once
24VAC is applied to terminals TH and GND on the
control, the ignition control will enter Start Up Mode.
Lockout Mode is cleared by pressing an external reset
switch for three seconds. The ignition control will
clear all error codes and enter Standby Mode. During
Lockout Manual Reset, the Diagnostic LED on the
ignition control flashes red and orange, and the Reset
Light remains on until the ignition control is reset.
After the Reset Light turns off, stop pressing the
switch. Holding the reset for three seconds after
lockout has been cleared will cause a fault and result in
entering Lockout Mode again.
Start Up Mode
During Start Up Mode, the ignition control will
monitor the system for faults and begin the ignition
sequence. If no faults are present, the ignition control
will begin the ignition sequence by entering an 18
second waiting period. During this time the Green
LED on the ignition control will switch between Red
and Green, before maintaining a Green color.
System Tests
The following system tests are performed during
normal operation. System tests are performed at a
minimum of every 24 hours.
After the waiting period, the ignition control will turn
on the igniter and gas valve. The igniter will remain on
until a flame is sensed, or up to 10 seconds.
Low Voltage Detection
Once a flame has been sensed the ignition control will
stop sparking, the gas valve will remain on and
ignition control will enter Run Mode.
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the
control is below 18.75VAC +/- 0.75VAC for more than
3 seconds the ignition control will turn off the gas
valve and will not attempt to spark. The Diagnostic
LED will display Error Code 5. The ignition control
will not enter Lockout Mode if a low voltage condition
is detected, but will enter Standby Mode and wait for
the low voltage condition to be cleared.
If a flame is not sensed, the ignition control will then
begin two additional retrials for ignition. The ignition
control will re-enter the 18 seconds waiting period
before the ignition control makes another attempt at
ignition. If the three attempts at ignition fail, the
ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the
control rises above 19.75VAC +/- 0.1VAC for at least
3 seconds, the ignition control will then enter Start Up
Mode.
Run Mode
While in Run Mode the ignition control leaves the gas
valve on, monitors the flame signal, and leaves the
igniter off.
Low Voltage Detection test is disabled during Run
Mode.
If a flame signal is lost during Run Mode, one
additional retrial for ignition will take place within one
second. The ignition control will restore the spark for
approximately 10 seconds. If the ignition re-attempt
fails, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
The ignition control will remain in Run Mode until
24VAC is removed from terminals TH and GND on
the control.

a. Open the lint panel.
b. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint
compartment area. Lightly brush any lint that
may be left on the lint screen. Lint left in the
lint compartment is drawn back onto the lint
screen and will restrict airflow.

replace immediately. A torn lint screen allows
lint to pass from the tumbler to the ductwork
system and may restrict airflow.
