American Dryer Corp. AD-50V Clothes Dryer User Manual

NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint drawer. While pushing
the lint drawer switch in, start a drying cycle. The heating unit should not activate (wait
30-seconds). If heat does activate, make necessary adjustments to the sail switch.
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the
manual supplied with the dryer.
6. 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 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.
7. 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.
K. PREOPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
COIN MODELS
1. Automatic Mode (Microprocessor Controller [Computer] Models)
a. When turning on power or when no cycle is in progress, the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will read
“FILL” and/or “Amount To Start.”
b. Insert coins.
Once correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the L.E.D. display will read “PUSH.”
c. Select temperature by pushing “HI TEMP,” “LO TEMP,” or “PERM PRESS.” The dryer will start, the
L.E.D. display will read the temperature cycle selected, and the drying time portion of the L.E.D. display
will read “00” and count upward as time elapses.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat and motor will stop. However, the
microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count downward in time.
Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed and any
other of the three (3) temperature selection buttons is again depressed.
