Gas heated dryers

Description

The gas burners (2 pcs) are located in the gas
heating unit on the top of the dryer behind back
plate A, fig. 1.
The air is drawn through the louvres on the back
plate and into the heating unit.
The heated air passes through the garments and
the drum vents.
The air then flows from the perforation through the
filter and via the outlet to the open air, fig. 2.
The gas burners with ignition electrodes, nozzles
and gas valves are controlled by the Selecta
Control and the thermostats.
Overheating thermostats (also see section 27)
Gas heated dryers are equipped with two
overheating thermostats connected in series, one in
the inlet and one in the outlet.
In the event of overheating, the dryer stops and
E08 flashes in the display.
Resetting see section 27.
This error is often caused by reduction of the air
circulation in the dryer due to not enough air in the
room or due to the dryer being overloaded.
If the dryer is also stopped before the cool down
function has started the after-heat can cause the
overheating thermostats to switch off.
