Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer area is clean and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors. Also

be bled of air. If the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first time
the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the dryer to “Off” and wait 5 minutes before making
another attempt to light.
