WARNING: To avoid fire hazard, do not dry articles containing foam rubber or similar texture materials.
Do not put into this dryer flammable items such as baby bed mattresses, throw rugs,undergarments
(brassieres, etc.) and other items which use rubber as padding or backing. Rubber easily oxidizes causing
excessive heat and possible fire. These items should be air dried.
WARNING: Synthetic solvent fumes from drycleaning machines create acids when drawn through the
dryer. These fumes cause rusting of painted parts, pitting of bright or plated parts, and completely
removes the zinc from galvanized parts, such as the tumbler basket. If drycleaning machines are in the
same area as the tumbler, the tumbler's make-up air must come from a source free of solvent fumes.
WARNING: Check the lint trap often and clean as needed but at least a minimum of once per day.
WARNING: Alterations to equipment may not be carried out without consulting with the factory and
only by a qualified engineer or technician. Only Cissell parts may be used.

Gas Piping
GAS SERVICE The size of the gas service pipe is dependant upon many variables,
INSTALLATION such as tees, lengths, etc. Specific pipe size should be obtained from
the gas supplier. Refer to the Gas Pipe Size Chart in this manual for
INFORMATION
general gas pipe size information.
CAUTION
Gas loop piping must be installed as shown in Illustration, to
maintain equal gas pressure for all dryers connected to a single
gas service.
WARNING
(LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GASES ONLY)
A Gas Pressure Regulator for Liquified Petroleum Gases is
not furnished on Cissell Gas Heated Clothes Dryers. This
regulator is normally furnished by the installer. In accordance
with American Gas Association (AGA) standards, a gas
pressure regulator, when installed indoors, must be equipped
with a vent limiter, or a vent line must be installed from the gas
pressure regulator vent to the outdoors.

2. Check with utilities for proper gas pressure and gas supply
line.
5. The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system, at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
CAUTION
Low gas pressure and intermittent gas will cause gas ignition
problems and inadequate drying of the clothes load.
Page 21
Steam Piping Installation
INSTALLATION 1. Set and anchor dryer in position. Machine should be level to
INSTRUCTIONS assure proper steam circulation.
2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to dryer, piping
should have a minimum 12” above respective header. Do not
make steam connection to header with a horizontal or
downwardly facing tee or elbow.
3. Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam lines must drain,
by gravity, to respective steam header. Water pockets, or an
improperly drained steam header will provide wet steam,
causing improper operation of dryer. If pockets or improper
drainage cannot be eliminated, install a bypass trap to drain
condensate from the low point in the steam supply header to
the return.
4. In both steam supply and steam return line, it is recommended
that each have a 3/4” union and 3/4” globe valve. This will
enable you to disconnect the steam connections and service
the dryer while your plant is in operation.
5. Before connecting trap and check valve to dryer, open globe
valve in steam supply line and allow steam to flow through
dryer to flush out any dirt and scale from dryer. This will
assure proper operation of trap when connected.
6. After flushing system, install bucket trap (with built-in
strainer) and check valve. For successful operation of dryer,
install trap 18" below coil and as near to the dryer as
possible. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet markings
and install according to trap manufacturer’s instructions. If
steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap but install check
valve in return line near dryer.
7. Install union and globe valve in return line and make final
pipe connections to return header.
1. Trap each dryer individually. Always keep the trap clean and
in good working condition.
2. When dryer is on the end of a line of equipment, extend
header at least 4 feet beyond dryer. Install globe valve, union,
PIPING check valve and bypass trap at end of line. If gravity returned
RECOMMENDATIONS to boiler, omit trap.
3. Insulate steam supply and return line for safety of
operator and safety while servicing dryer.
4. Keep dryer in good working condition. Repair or replace any
worn or defective parts.

INSTALLATION—
MULTIPLE MANIFOLD 1. Make-up air from outside building may enter enclosure from
DUCT top or side walls. Area of opening should be equal to 4-6
times the sum of dryer duct areas. Provide 1 sq. ft. for each 6
in. diameter; 2 sq. ft. for each 8 in. diameter; and 4 sq. ft. for
each 12 in. diameter.
2. Use constant diameter duct with area equal to the sum of dryer
duct areas.
5. Heat loss into laundry room from dryer fronts only is about 60
BTU/HR per square foot.
CAUTION
Never install hot water heaters or other gas appliances in the
same room as dryers. Never install cooling exhaust fans in the
same room as dryers.
CAUTION
Never exhaust dryers with other types of equipment.
Page 26
Dryer Installation with Separate Exhaust (Preferred) (Illustration)
1. Make-up air opening from outside the building may enter the
enclosure from the top or side walls. Area of opening should
be equal to 4-6 times the sum of dryer duct areas. Provide 1
sq. ft. for each 6 in. diameter; 2 sq. ft. for each 8 in. diameter;
and 4 sq. ft. for each 12 in. diameter.
2. Enclosure (plenum) with service door. This separates the
dryer air from the room comfort air. If dryers use room air
instead of outside air, the heat loss can be another 25 BTU/HR
for each cubic foot per minute (CFM) used.
EXAMPLE: A 110 lb. dryer with 2000 CFM = heat loss of
50,000 BTU/HR.
3. Zero inches clearance to combustible material allowed on
sides and at points within 4 inches of front on top.
4. Heat loss into laundry room from dryer fronts only is about 60
BTU/HR per square foot.
Page 27
Dryer Air Flow Installation
DRYER AIR FLOW Nothing is more important than air flow for the proper operation of a clothes dryer. A dryer is
INSTALLATION a pump which draws make-up air from the out-of-doors, through the heater, through the
clothes and then forces the air through the exhaust duct back to the out-of-doors. Just as in a
fluid water pump, there must be a fluid air flow to the inlet of the dryer, if there is to be the
proper fluid air flow out of the exhaust duct.
In summary, there must be the proper size out-of-doors inlet air opening (4-6 times the
combined areas of the air outlet) and an exhaust duct, size and length of which allows flow
through the dryer with no more than 0.3 inches water column static pressure in the exhaust
duct.
In some instances, special fans are required to supply make-up air, and/or boost exhaust fans
are required for both regular and energy saving models.
EXHAUSTING
FOR BEST DRYING:
DUCT
1. Exhaust duct maximum length 14 feet of straight duct and maximum of two 90°
bends.
2. Use 45° and 30° elbows wherever possible.
3. Exhaust each dryer separately.
4. Do not install wire mesh or other restrictions in the exhaust duct.
5. Use clean-outs in the exhaust duct and clean periodically when needed.
6. Never exceed 0.3 inches water column static pressure in the exhaust duct.
7. Inside surface of the duct must be smooth.
8. Recommend pop rivets for duct assembly.
MAKE-UP AIR FOR BEST DRYING:
1. Provide opening to the out-of-doors in accordance with the following:
For each dryer—
8 inches diameter exhaust requires 2 square feet make-up air.
12 inches diameter exhaust requires 4 square feet make-up air.
2. Use barometric shutters in the inlet air opening to control air when dryers are not
running.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Other Recommendations
To assure compliance, consult local building code requirements.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Hot dryer surfaces, scorched clothes, slow drying, lint accumulations, or air switch
malfunction are indicators of exhaust duct and/or make-up air problems.
Page 28
Rules for Safe Operation of Dryer
RULES FOR SAFE 1. Be sure your dryer is installed properly in accordance with the
OPERATION OF DRYER recommended instructions.
2. CAUTION
Be safe—shut main electrical power supply and gas supply off
externally before attempting service.
3. CAUTION
Never use drycleaning solvents: gasoline, kerosene, or other
flammable liquids in the dryer. Fire and explosion will occur.
Never put fabrics treated with these liquids into the dryer.
Never use these liquids near the dryer.
Always keep the lint screen clean.
Never use heat to dry items that contain plastic, foam or sponge rubber,
or rags coated with oils, waxes or paints. The heat may damage the
material or create a fire hazard. Rubber easily oxidizes, causing
excessive heat and possible fire.
Never dry the above items in the dryer.
4. Never let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury
will occur if a child should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
5. Never use dryer door opening and top as a step stool.
6. Read and follow manufacturer's instructions on packages of laundry and
cleaning aids. Heed any warnings or precautions.
7. Never tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say they
are machine dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer and
could cause skin irritation if they become mixed into other fabrics.
8. Reference
Lighting and shut-down instructions and wiring diagrams are located on
the rear wall of the dryer cabinet.
9. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS 10. Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting. Turned elbows
and long vent tubing tend to increase drying time. Longer drying time
means the use of more energy and higher operating costs.
11. Operate dryer using full-size loads. Very large loads use extra energy.
Very small loads waste energy.
12. Dry light-weight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics. You will use less
energy and get more even drying results by drying fabrics of similar
weight together.
13. Clean the lint screen area daily. A clean lint screen helps give faster,
more economical drying.
14. Do not open the dryer door while drying. You let warm air escape from
the dryer into the room.
15. Unload the dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to re-start your
dryer to remove wrinkles.
Page 29
Energy Saving Tips
CAUTION
Synthetic solvent fumes from dry cleaning machines create
acids when drawn through the dryer. These acid fumes
cause rusting of painted parts, pitting of bright plated parts
and completely removes the zinc from galvanized metal
parts, such as the tumbler basket.
