    5. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier. 6. Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors. 7. Although ADC produces a very versatile dryer, there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
  • Page 7 WARNING: DO NOT use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubberlike materials. Drying in a heated basket (tumbler) may damage plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard. 8. The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage to the machine and harmful fumes.
  • Page 8 WARNING: Disconnect power before resetting the hi-limit. The hi-limit is located on the top front of the lint box. Press and release and the hi-limit will reset. CE ONLY IMPORTANT: This appliance must only be installed and operated in the country of destination indicated on the dryer’s data plate.

    Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the ADC Parts Department at (508) 678-9000.

  • Page 12: Location Requirements

    B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1- M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).

  • Page 13: Dryer Enclosure Requirements

    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions must be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed in if desired.

  • Page 14: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building.

  • Page 15: Exhaust Requirements

    E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shut down of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-limit thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
  • Page 16 ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building.
  • Page 17 NOTE: Refer to the illustration below for examples of multiple dryer (common) venting. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

NOTES: When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to listed appliance amp draw data.
  • Page 20 4. Electrical Connections A wiring diagram is located inside the control box for connection data. If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker panel.

  • Page 22: Gas Information

    5. 3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connections The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes Neutral) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuits is done internally to the dryer. No single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a 3-phase (3ø) dryer. 3-Phase (3ø) Hookup For gas dryers manufactured for operation at 3-phase (3ø), the electrical input connections are made at the terminal blocks located in the top electrical box at the rear of the dryer.
  • Page 23 The adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet (610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the reseller who sold the dryer or the ADC factory. IMPORTANT: THIS GAS DRYER IS NOT PROVIDED WITH AN INTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF AND AN EXTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF MUST BE PROVIDED.

  • Page 26 NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). American Dryer Corp.

  • Page 27: Preparation For Operation / Start-Up

    H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION / START-UP The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer: 1. Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer. 2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label. In the case of 208 VAC OR 230/240 VAC THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE MUST MATCH THE ELECTRIC SERVICE EXACTLY.
  • Page 28 NOTE: To stop dryer, open main door or press the pause key. Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed and any of the three (3) temperature selection is pressed. f. Upon completion of the drying and cooling cycles, the tone (buzzer) will sound and the dryer will go into the Wrinkle Guard Mode for 99 minutes, or until the main door has been opened.

  • Page 29: Shutdown Instructions

    IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each dryer. 4. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to ensure that the timing is correct and that the temperatures are set properly.

  • Page 30: Service / Parts Information

    Replacement parts should be purchased from the reseller from whom the ADC equipment was purchased. If the reseller cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the ADC Parts Department for a reseller in your area. Parts may also be purchased directly from the factory by calling the ADC Parts Department at (508) 678-9000 or you may FAX in your order at (508) 678-9447.

  • Page 31: Warranty Information

    A. RETURNING WARRANTY CARDS Before any dryer leaves the ADC factory test area, a warranty card is placed on the back side of the main door glass. These warranty cards are intended to serve the customer where we record the individual installation date and warranty information to better serve you should you file a warranty claim.
  • Page 32 IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be issued for merchandise damaged in transit. 5. ALL returns should be shipped to the ADC factory in such a manner that they are ensured and a proof of delivery can be obtained by the sender.

  • Page 33: Routine Maintenance

    Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.

  • Page 34: Adjustments

    DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit P/N 882159 (includes two [2] fittings).

  • Page 35: Data Label Information

    When contacting American Dryer Corporation, certain AGA LABEL information is required to ensure proper service/parts information from ADC. This information is on the data label that is located on the left sidewall area behind the middle access (control) door. When contacting ADC please have the model number as well as the serial number readily available.
