Safety Precautions ____________________
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Purchaser and/or 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.
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” cleaners. 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 rubberlike
materials. Drying in a heated 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 burner area and exhaust ductwork. 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.
Under no circumstances should the dryer door, lint drawer
switches or heat safety devices ever be disabled.
Read and follow all caution and direction labels attached to
the dryer.
WARNING: Children should not be allowed to play on or in
the dryers. Children should be supervised if near dryers in
operation.
Routine Maintenance__________________
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic
inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas
of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The
frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience
at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent
upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict
this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC
dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free and most
importantly safe operation.
WARNING: Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible.
The accumulation of lint can create a potential fire hazard.
Suggested Interval
Daily
Clean lint screen. Inspect lint screen and replace if damaged.
90 Days
Remove lint accumulation from lint chamber thermostats and
sensors.
WARNING: To avoid the hazard of electrical shock,
discontinue electrical supply to the dryer.
Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.
Inspect and tighten all setscrews (i.e.; pulleys, idler bearings,
tumbler bearings).
IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict internal motor
airflow, causing overheating and irreparable damage.
Motor failure due to lint accumulation will void the warranty.
120 Days
Remove lint from gas burner area with dusting brush or
vacuum cleaner attachment.
6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in the customer-
furnished exhaust ductwork system. Inspect exhaust back
draft dampers to ensure that they are not binding. Inspect
and remove all lint accumulation from in and around control
box area including coil acceptors. Clean lint accumulation
from around tumbler wrapper area.
IMPORTANT: The accumulation of lint in the exhaust
ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.
As Required
In cleaning and care of the cabinet, avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances
is recommended.
Adjustments
6 Months
Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or
seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose belts
when necessary, and check belt alignment.
Complete operational check of controls and valves.
Complete operational check of all safety devices (door
switches, sail switch, burner and lint chamber thermostats).
12 Months
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, nonpermanent gas connections,
(unions orifices, etc.) electrical terminals, and grounding
connections.
Lubrication
The new bearings, idler bearings and tumbler bearing are
sealed, lubrication is not necessary.
