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.
WARNING
!
Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents, a
combustible detergent, industrial chemicals, or "all
purpose" cleaner. Explosion could result.
Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated
with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion
could result.
Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or
flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.
Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic,
foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber
materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage
plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard.
The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage
to the machine and harmful fumes.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of
inspection and cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location.
4
The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust
ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.
For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes and/or National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, Canadian Electric Code CSA
C22.1.
NOTE: Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.
Under no circumstances should the dryer door switch, lint
door switch, or heat safety circuit ever be disabled.
Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer
door switch, lint door switch, or heat safety circuit
ever be disabled.
This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning
solvents or fumes.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire hazard.
Read and follow all caution and direction labels attached to
the dryer.
For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than sixty-six
percent, 19 lb (8.61 kg) of its rated capacity.
You must disconnect and lock out the electric supply
and the gas supply or the steam supply before any
covers or guards are removed from the machine to
allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation, or
testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.
