American Dryer Corp. AD-285 Clothes Dryer User Manual

NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the
manual supplied with the dryer.
5. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove
this coating.
6. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check
to see if the blower (squirrel cage fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the blower
(squirrel cage fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing
is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply to the
dryer.
IMPORTANT: If the blower (squirrel cage fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this will not only
drastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure.
J. PREOPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. COIN MODELS
a. Microprocessor Controller (computer)
1) When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the ready state, the liquid crystal display (L.C.D.)
screen will display “Ready, Insert $XX.XX (amount) to Start.”

display the Dry Cycle selected and the remaining time.
4) The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles, until the vended time has expired.
NOTE: To stop dryer, open main door. Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has
been closed and any of the three (3) temperature is pressed.
5) Upon completion of drying and cooling cycles, the tone (buzzer) will sound and the dryer will go into
the Anti-Wrinkle mode for 99 minutes, or until the main door has been opened.
