NOTE: Failure to do so will void the warranty. 9. Under no circumstances should the dryer door switches, lint door switch, heat safety circuit ever be disabled. WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE COULD RESULT. 10. This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning solvents or fumes. 11.
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.
6 MONTHS Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting. NOTE: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK.
SECTION III INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA- B149.2-M91 (L.P.
Natural Gas ________________ 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column. L.P. Gas ___________________ 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column. 6. If computer program changes are required, refer to the Phase 8 Non-Coin Operator’s Manual (ADC P/N 112725) for details. 7. The dryer should be operated through one complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that all components are functioning properly.
SECTION IV DESCRIPTION OF PARTS A. CONTROL PANEL (MICROPROCESSOR) Lifting the control door will reveal the control panel assembly. Opening the control panel will allow access to the major components which include the computer board and keypad. The keypad inputs to the computer what temperature and program has been selected.
D. DRIVE MOTOR The T.E.F.C. drive motor is located in the left side of the machine (viewing from the front) of the dryer. It sits on an adjustable base so that the motor can be easily adjusted for belt tension adjustment. The drive motor is a 1/4 HP motor and operates on 115 to 230 volts, 50/60 Hz.
G. MAIN DOOR SWITCH The main door switch is located in the main control panel. When the main door opens, the switch will also open, preventing the dryer from operating. The main door switch is a safety device and should never be disabled. H.
L. LINT DRAWER SWITCH The lint drawer switch is located in the rear of the lint compartment and attached to the back of the lint drawer compartment. The lint drawer switch insures that the dryer will operate only when the lint drawer is completely closed.
SECTION V SERVICING INTRODUCTION All electrical/mechanical service or repairs should be made with the electrical power to the dryer disconnected (power off). WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. The information provided in this section should not be misconstrued as a device for use by an untrained person making repairs.

FAULTS EXHAUST PROBE An exhaust probe fault occurs when the control detects that the exhaust temperature transducer is reading a temperature that is out of the probe’s normal operating temperature range for more than 3-seconds. There is an automatic fault clearing feature for this fault. If the fault condition no longer exists, the control will clear the fault condition and return to READY Mode.
EVENTS RADIANT SENSOR FAULT COUNT A radiant sensor fault count will occur when a gas model dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and never receives a 120V return signal within a predefined time. BURNER IGNITER FAULT COUNT A burner ignition fault count will occur when a gas model dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and receives a 120V on the burner return signal but it does not transition to a 0V return signal within a predefined time.
A. DATA LABEL When contacting ADC, certain information is required to ensure proper service/parts information. This information is on the data label, located on the top left hand corner of the dryer, viewed from the rear (refer to the illustration above).
