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.
The dryer must never be operated with any of the back guards,
outer tops, or service panels removed. Personal injury or fire
could result.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Purchaser/user should consult the local gas supplier for
proper instructions to be followed in the event the user smells
gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent
location.
What to do if You Smell Gas
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.
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, 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 basket (tumbler) may damage plastics or rubber
and may be a fire hazard.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the heating unit area, exhaust ductwork,
and inside the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning
can best be determined from experience at each location.
Warning
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 the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION.
Note
Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.
Under no circumstances should the dryer door switch, lint
drawer switch, or the heat safety circuit ever be disabled.
Warning
Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer
door switch, lint drawer switch, or the 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.
Warning
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire
hazard.
Do not operate steam dryers with more than 125 psi (8.6 bar)
steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can cause
damage to the steam coil and/or harm personnel.
Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures
immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible
hoses. Personal injury may result.
The normal pH level for copper type steam coils must be
maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type
steam coils the pH level must be maintained between a value
of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid attack of
the steam coils.
Important
Coil failure due to improper pH level will void the
warranty.
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 (66%), 36 lbs (16 kg) of its rated capacity.
Warning
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 (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration) standards.
Important
Dryer must be installed in a location/environment,
which the ambient temperature remains between
40º F (4.44º C) and 130º F (54.44º C).
