American Dryer Corp. AD-530HS Clothes Dryer User Manual

Even though a 12-inch clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned
approximately 2 feet away from the nearest obstruction, i.e., wall, for ease of installation, maintenance, and
service.
1. Leveling The Dryer
To increase bearing life, improve efficiency, and provide for better automatic closure of main doors, the tumbler
should be tilted slightly to the rear. Four (4) leveling legs are provided for this purpose and are shipped inside the
top tumbler (basket) and must be installed at the time of installation. A leveling leg must be screwed into the
bottom of the dryer base at each corner area where the bolts used to secure the dryer to the wooden skid were
removed.
C. Dryer Enclosure Requirements
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
6-inches above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
NOTE: Even though a minimum of 6-inches above the dryer outer top is acceptable, a clearance of
18-inches (or more) is suggested for ease of installation and service (power electrical connections).
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 12-inches above the
dryer outer top is required.
