Front loading tumble dryer with gas heating. Reverse action
drum tumble. Time control. 2-temperature exhaust
thermostat control. Induced air flow enters dryer through
front grille, some passes through the gas burner into the
rear ducting and some into the cooling passages, this
mixed air enters the drum through the rear perforations,
passes through the clothes, lint filter, and the fan and is
discharged through the vent at the rear.
