A The requirement to allow the lint door to open completely
for the AD-35i is 33-inches (83.8 cm), AD-50i/M-50p is 36”
(91.4 cm), and AD-80i/M-80p is 40-inches (101.6 cm).
B A minimum overhead clearance of 12-inches (30.48 cm) is
required. 18-inches (45.72 cm) is recommended.
C Dryer should be positioned a minimum of 12-inches (30.48
cm) away from the nearest obstruction. 24-inches (60.96
cm) is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance,
and service.
D 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum is required.
E Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however a
1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be made for
the opening and closing of the lint door, along with the
removal of panels during maintenance.
F Dryer must protrude 1-inch (2.54 cm) from the surface of
any bulkhead or partition around the dryer to allow the
control door to open.
G The maximum thickness of any bulkhead or partition from
the header down to the top of the dryer is 1-inch (2.54 cm).
H The minimum clearance from the top of the dryer to the
header of any bulkhead or partition located directly above
the dryer is 4-inches (10.16 cm).
I The maximum thickness of any bulkhead or partition above
the header is 4-inches (10.16 cm).
11. Reinstall the main loading door, and the top hinge block.
The top hinge block was the bottom hinge block, with no
plastic washer.
12. Check that the door swings properly.
13. Close all doors and panels. Then reconnect the power to
the dryer.
14. Check that the dryer starts with no errors.
15. Check that the dryer stops when the door is opened.
NOTE: Some doors have a custom logo bar inside. While
the door is off the dryer, the door pan can be removed (6)
1/4 nuts, to access the logo bar. The bar can then be
removed and flipped. Reinstall the door pan.
Dryer Enclosure Requirements _______
Commercial Type II
(AD-35i, AD-50i/M-50p, AD-80i/M-80p)
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible
material.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control
door.
Fresh Air Supply Requirements _______
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the
appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national
installation regulations.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes
this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the building.
Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from
the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and
drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems
and sail switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as
premature motor failure from overheating. The dryer must be
installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-
up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration
to ensure proper performance of each dryer. As a general
rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors of 70 inch
2
(451 cm
2
) for each AD-35i, 125 inch
2
(806 cm
2
) for each
AD-50i/M-50p, and 135 inch
2
(870 cm
2
) is required for each
AD-80i/M-80p. (Based on 1-inch
2
[6.5 cm
2
] per 1,000 Btu [252
kcal].)
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening
for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable.
However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-
up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be increased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at high altitudes or
predominantly low pressure areas.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of four AD-35i dryers, two unrestricted
openings measuring 12-inches by 12-inches (30.5 cm by 30.5
cm) are acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be free of dry cleaning
solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry
cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to
the motors and other dryer components.
