Operating Instructions - Dexter Laundry B-Series Operator's Manual

To dry a load of items, you must choose one of the five-programmed dry cycles. Each of these five dry cycles may
be modified in two different ways to match your load. Please, refer to the "Permanent Reversing Dryer Controller
Programming" or "Temporary Reversing Dryer Controller Programming" section of this manual.
There are two parts to each dry cycle. The first part is the heating time, which is when the gas valve is cycled on
and off according to the temperature setting in the dry cycle program. The second part is the cool down time,
which is after the heating part of the dry cycle, and when the cylinder continues to turn, but no heat is applied.
There will always be at least two minutes of cool down time for each dry cycle. The maximum amount of
cool down time is 60 minutes if the controller has a red dot sticker or 15 minutes if the controller has no red dot
sticker.
During a reversing dry cycle, the tumbler will rotate in one direction for one minute, decelerate for four
seconds, and then rotate in the opposite direction for one minute. This motion will repeat for the duration of the
dry cycle. If the controller has a red dot sticker, the amount of reversing time can be set to either one or two
minutes. To change the reversing time, the 4-digit numerical display must show "LOAd". Then, press and hold
the SELECT/ENTER touch pad switch and then press the UP touch pad switch to set the time to two minutes or
the DOWN touch pad switch to set the time to one minute. The buzzer will then beep to indicate the change
was successful. The change will be retained even if the power is removed. The factory default is one minute.
The five default dry cycle values are shown in the "REVERSING DRYER CONTROLLER FACTORY DEFAULT
PROGRAM SETTINGS" table in this manual.
To improve the drying capabilities of this dryer, you should always separate (untangle) the individual articles in
your load before using the dryer.
In the following instruction steps, things that are displayed on the 4-digit numerical display will be in
"quotation marks" and any touch pad switches on the dryer controller that physically need to be pressed will be in
CAPITAL AND BOLD LETTERS.
1) Place your untangled load into the dryer cylinder and close the dryer loading door. Notice that the
dryer controller 4-digit numerical display should show the word "LOAd". If it does not show this word, then
press and release the STOP touch pad switch on the dryer controller twice.
2) Press and release either the UP or DOWN touch pad switch on the dryer controller to select a dry cycle.
3) Once the desired dry cycle is selected, press and release the START touch pad switch.
After the dryer controller START touch pad switch is pressed, the dryer cylinder will start rotating and the
two-digit total dry cycle time, along with a decimal point, will appear on the dryer controller display.
The time shown on the dryer controller display will count down to the programmed cool down time. At that
time, the display will change from the decimal point and two-digit number to a letter "C" and two digits.
The letter "C" represents the cool down portion of the dry cycle. The two digits represent the amount of
time remaining in the dry cycle. The two-digit time, shown on the dryer controller display, will count down to
zero.
When the time decrements to zero, the dryer controller display will flash the work "donE" and the end of cycle
tone will sound.
At that point, the wrinkle free cycle will automatically begin. This cycle will wait two minutes, if the door is
not opened or the STOP touch pad switch on the dryer controller is not pressed, and then rotate the
cylinder for 10 seconds and stop. This two-minute of idle time and 10 seconds of tumble time will repeat a
total of 10 times, at which time the wrinkle free cycle stops. The cylinder will not rotate again until a new dry
cycle is started.
During the wrinkle free cycle, the gas valve will not be operated and there will be no heat applied to the load.
The word "donE" will also continue to flash and do so even after the wrinkle free cycle is finished. When
the dryer loading door is opened, or the STOP touch pad switch is pressed, the word "donE" will change to
the word "LOAd" on the dryer controller display. The dryer will then be ready for another dry cycle.
During the dry cycle, either pressing the STOP touch pad switch on the dryer controller or opening the
dryer loading door will stop the dry cycle and not clear it. If you press the STOP touch pad switch on the
