Page 7: Safety Precautions
SECTION I SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. WARNING: The dryer must never be operated with any of the back guards, outer tops, or service panels removed. - Page 8 WARNING: DO NOT dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard. WARNING: DO NOT use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubberlike materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard.
- Page 9 IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C). CE ONLY IMPORTANT: This appliance must only be installed and operated in the country of destination indicated on the dryer’s data plate. If the appliance is to be installed and operated in a country other than the one indicated on the data plate, a data plate amendment must be obtained from American Dryer Corporation.

Page 13: Installation Procedures
SECTION III INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Installation should be performed by competent professional in accordance with local, state, and country codes. In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 and Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1. -
Page 14: Location Requirements
B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, ensure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. -
Page 15: Dryer Enclosure Requirements
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top; except along the front of the dryer, which may be closed if desired. -
Page 16: 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 tumbler, and exhausts it out of the building. -
Page 17: 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, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside. - Page 18 IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork. NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”...
- Page 19 HORIZONTAL VENTING OF MODEL ADG-285D (No Heat Reclaimer) When horizontal single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used with model ADG-285D, the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 40 feet (12 meters) refer to Illus. A2 below. This calculation of 40 feet (12 meters) compensates or allows for the use of a maximum of three (3) elbows in addition to that shown.
- Page 20 VERTICAL VENTING OF MODEL ADG-285DH (With Heat Reclaimer) When vertical single venting is used with model ADG-285DH, the minimum duct size is 8-inches (20.32 cm), refer to Illus. B1 below, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside outlet cannot exceed 60 feet (18 meters), refer to Illus.
- Page 21 If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross section area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent.
- Page 22 NOTE: Distance between dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a minimum of 28-1/2” (72.39 cm) dryer width. Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at rear area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels or guards.
-
Page 23: Electrical Information
Illus. D (refer to the illustration on the previous page) shows the minimum cross section area for vertical multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is unusually long. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. - Page 24 NOTE: ADC reserves the right to make changes in specifications at any time without notice or obligation. 2. Electrical Service Specifications IMPORTANT: Figures shown are for non-reversing models only. For reversing models contact the factory. ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (PER DRYER) IMPORTANT: 208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME.
- Page 25 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 27: Gas Information
G. GAS INFORMATION It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship conform to local and state regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the absence of such codes, ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable local requirements. In the USA this is National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. - Page 28 2. Technical Gas Data a. Gas Specifications For Australia, refer to data plate. TYPE OF GAS NATURAL PROPANE Manifold Pressure* 3.5 inches W.C. 8.7 mb 10.5 inches W.C. 26.1 mb In-Line Pressure 6.0 - 12.0 inches W.C. 14.92 - 29.9 mb 11.0 inches W.C.
- Page 29 Installer within Australia – refer to AS/NZS5601.1 for guidance on gas supply pipe sizing required for this appliance installation. The dryer is provided with a 1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection located in the upper rear of the dryer. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1/2” pipe. For ease in servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.
- Page 30 Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure.

Page 45: Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.a.f.e.) System
SECTION IX SENSOR ACTIVATED FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) System will extinguish fires that may start in the drying tumbler. A series of sensors positioned throughout the tumbler and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. - Page 46 WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be INOPERATIVE!! IMPORTANT: Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old hose set should not be reused. 2.
- Page 47 OPTIONAL MANUAL BYPASS Provisions are made in the dryer S.A.F.E. system for the installation of an optional manual bypass. Depending on the model dryer, the connections for the manual bypass are made at the “T” or “three way” fitting located in the outlet supply side of the water solenoid valve.
- Page 48 3. Electrical Requirements No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the S.A.F.E. system is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls). WARNING: Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at ALL times.
