14American Dryer Corporation113549- 7
B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such codes
or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in
Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or
CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Propane Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).
The non-tilting model dryer requires 18-inches (45.72 cm) of space on each side of the dryer and 24-inches (60.96 cm)
of space behind the unit for ease of service. A minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) must be allowed between the top of
a gas dryer and the ceiling. A ceiling height of 120-inches (304.8 cm) is required for gas dryers, and a ceiling height for
130-inches (330.2 cm) is required for steam dryers. The dryer must be leveled for proper operation. If shimming is
required, put metal shims, which are the same size as the base feet under the base feet. The dryer must be lagged to
the floor.
WARNING: Dryer should be located where a minimum length of exhaust duct willbe necessary .
1. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
2. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply .
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months,
inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient temperature
remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
113549-7www.adclaundry.com15
C. 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.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An
unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 5,300 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (150 cmm
[cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each gas dryer and 6,500 cfm (184 cmm) for each steam dryer. As a
general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 6 square feet (0.56 square
meters) is required for each gas dryer and a minimum of 8 square feet (0.74 square meters) for each steam dryer.
T o compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air area must be increased by
approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should notbe located in an area directly near where
exhaust vents exit the building.
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. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes
or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source 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.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
16American Dryer Corporation113549- 7
D. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: For 1 door dryers, the 20-inch (50.8 cm) diameter exhaust duct exits from the rear of the base. For
2 door dryers, the 20-inch (50.8 cm) diameter exhaust duct exits from the left side of the base.
1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will
create excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer,
and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or tumbler hi-limit thermostats. The
dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED T O THE OUTDOORS.
CAUTION: IMPROPERL Y SIZED OR INST ALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREA TE A
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
NOTE: THE DRYER MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY EXHAUSTED. COMMON DUCTWORK IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the
outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.
The shape of the ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. It is suggested
that the use of 90° turns in ducting be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles instead. The radius of the elbow should
preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct.
ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions,
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected.
ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Additionally,
inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning
of lint from the ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be
no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 in WC (0.74 mb).
NOTE: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system except
where necessary to maintain exhaust back pressure (in the exhaust duct) between zero and 0.3 inch
water column. Where employed, booster fans must not activate the dryer airflow proving switch
(sail switch) when the dryer is not in operation.
113549-7www.adclaundry.com17
The internal dimensions of the dryer’s rectangular exhaust vent ductwork are 8-inches x 20-inches (20.3 cm x
50.8 cm). A transition piece 20-inches (50.8 cm) in diameter round is supplied. The location’ s exhaust duct mustbe the minimum exhaust size requirement of (20-inches [50.8 cm] round duct or 315 square inches [2,032 square
centimeters] square duct) the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet for a horizontal run, with no
more than one (1) elbow must not exceed 30 feet (9.14 meters) for gas and 20 feet (6.09 meters) for steam
dryers. (Refer to the illustration below and on page 19.) For locations with more than one (1) elbow, the
minimum exhaust size for a gas or steam model dryer is 24-inches (60.96 cm) round duct (464 square inches
[2,993 square centimeters] duct) must be used. The horizontal or vertical duct total run on gas models must notexceed 50 feet (15.24 meters) and steam models must not exceed 25 feet (7.62 meters), which includes the
use of no more than three (3) elbows (refer to the illustrations on page 20 and page 21). Should more than the
maximum number of elbows be used or if the run exceeds the maximum limits noted, a professional heating,
ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs or where more than the specified number of elbows are used,
a professional HV AC firm should be contacted for proper venting information.
NOTE: For extended ductwork runs the cross-sectional area of a duct can only be increased to an extent.

a. Outside Ductwork Protection
1) To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward
should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust ductwork travels vertically up
through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening
downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and
nearest obstruction.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be
no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 in WC (0.74 mb).
NOTE: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system except
where necessary to maintain exhaust back pressure (in the exhaust duct) between zero and 0.3 inch
water column. Where employed, booster fans must not activate the dryer airflow proving switch
(sail switch) when the dryer is not in operation.
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials,
the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct mustbe centered within this opening.

a. The presence of condensate in the steam supply line will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger
(steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the main supply line must be made within a minimum
10-inch (25.4 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining towards the dryer .
b. The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch (30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and check
valve. This will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.
c. Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the
steam coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and return mains.
d. Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply, return, and drip trap return lines. This will
allow the dryer to be isolated from the supply and return mains if the dryer needs maintenance work.
e. Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve for each unit at least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below steam
coil as close to the coil as possible.
f. The supply and return lines should be insulated. This will save energy and provide for safety of the operator
and maintenance personnel.
g. W ater pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing coil
damage.
ALL horizontal runs of steam supply piping should be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every 1 foot
(0.31 meters) back towards the steam supply header causing any condensate in the line to drain to the header.
Install a bypass trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.

5. Steam Damper System Operation
The steam damper, as shown in the illustration below, allows the coil to stay constantly charged eliminating
repeated expansion and contraction. When the damper is opened, the air immediately passes through the already
hot coil, providing instant heat to start the drying process. When the damper is closed, ambient air is drawn
directly into the tumbler, allowing a rapid cool down.
Diagram 1 – shows the damper in the heating (open) mode, allowing heat into the tumbler .
Diagram 2 – shows the damper in the cool down (closed) mode, pulling ambient air directly into the tumbler
without passing through the coils.
NOTE: With the dryer off or with no air supply , the damper is in the cool down mode as shown in Diagram

J. PREOPERATIONAL TEST
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory . However , a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal
location (installation) conditions. Installer must instruct the user on how to correctly operate the dryer before leaving.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
2. Make sure the loading doors are closed and the lint drawer is closed.
3. Make sure “green” power button is in and illuminated.
4. Microprocessor controller (computer) system operational test--to start the dryer:
a. Display will read “READY .”
b. Press “D” (preprogrammed) cycle key on the keypad.
5. The dryer will then start (i.e., blower, tumbler, and heat).
6. The light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will read MANUAL DRYING CYCLE D, 00:00 MIN REMAIN.
NOTE: Press the “UP ARROW” to view the tumbler temperature at any time.
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by pressing the “STOP/CLEAR” key . If the temperature is
above the Cool Down set point when the “STOP/CLEAR” is pressed, the dryer will go into a Cool
Down Cycle. If the “STOP/CLEAR” key is pressed again at this point the cycle that was in
progress willbe canceled and returned to the “READY” state. If the temperature is below the Cool
Down set point the cycle that was in progress will be canceled, and go to W rinkle Guard.
7. When the programmed drying time has expired, the Phase 7 Non-Coin microprocessor controller (computer) will
proceed into the Cool Down Cycle (mode).
8. Once the Cool Down Cycle begins at the end of the heat cycle the L.E.D. display will read COOL DOWN TEMP
___/___MINUTE REMAINING. At the end of the heat cycle, the dryer will shut off the heat, and continue the
fan and tumbler until the Cool Down Time, or temperature is reached.
9. Once the Cool Down Cycle is completed the Phase 7 Non-Coin microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed
into the Wrinkle Guard Cycle. The Audio Alert tone will sound for the amount set in Audio Alert ON Time. The
L.E.D. display will read “WRINKLE GUARD.” The times are fixed at 2 minutes OFF, 2 minutes ON for a max
time of 99 minutes. These times
will start to rotate (without heat for 2 minutes). The Phase 7 Non-Coin microprocessor controller (computer) will
repeat this process until the Maximum Wrinkle Guard On Time has expired (99 minutes). The L.E.D. display will
then read “CYCLE DONE” and lockout the dryer functions until the doors are opened. It will then return to
“READY.”

drying cycles (“A” thru “F”) have been stored in the microprocessor controller’s (computer’s)
memory . Refer to the Programming Manual supplied with the dryer for these preprogrammed
cycles.
10. Check to ensure that the tumbler starts in the clockwise direction. Additionally , check the direction of the blower
motor to insure that it rotates in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the left side of the dryer. If it does,
the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply
connections made to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Dryer blower motor and impellor/fan shaft as viewed from the left side of the dryer must
turn in the counterclockwise direction, otherwise the dryer efficiency will be drastically
reduced, and premature component failure can result.
11. Heat Circuit Operational Test
a. Gas Models
1) When the dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner has a tendency not to ignite on the first
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air , so the dryer may have to be stopped and
restarted several times for this air to be purged from the lines.
2) The dryer has one (1) burner box, which has its own Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) module and Spark
Ignition/Flame-Probe Assembly. If ignition is not established after first attempt, the heat circuit DSI
module will lockout until it is manually reset. T o reset the DSI system, open and close the loading doors
and restart the dryer (press “ENTER/START” key).
NOTE: During the purging period, verify that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of the dryer
to assure that the water column pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: W ater column pressure requirements (measured at both gas valve pressure taps)...
Natural Gas-----------------3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
Propane --------------------- 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in a propane dryer. The water column pressure must be
regulated at the source (propane tank), or an external regulator must be added to each
dryer .
b. Steam Models
1) Check to ensure that the steam damper is functioning properly.
113549-7www.adclaundry.com39
2) Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail switch

SECTION VI
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. 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 F ABRICS IS HIGHL Y COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULA TION OF LINT CAN CREA TE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MA TERIALS,
GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day .
IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months,
inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD

113549-7www.adclaundry.com47
SECTION VII
COMPONENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
A. TUMBLER DRIVE SYSTEM
The tumbler is supported and driven by four (4) 11-inch diameter drive wheels. Two (2) of these wheels are attached
to a 1-1/2” diameter idler shaft, while the other two (2) are attached to a 1-1/2” diameter drive shaft. Each of the
wheels is fastened to the shafts by a taper lock bushing. The taper lock is made up of three (3) pieces: an inner collar,
an outer sleeve, and a key . The inner and outer elements have matching opposing tapers. As a result, when the bolts
are tightened, the taper lock contracts onto the shaft and expands into the drive wheel hub locking the wheel onto the
shaft.
The idler shaft and drive shaft are each supported by two (2) 1-1/2” diameter pillow block bearings. These bearings sit
on slotted support channels and can be moved inward or outward by the adjustment bolts to raise or lower the tumbler.
The drive system consists of a shaft mounted pulley , two (2) V-belts, and a 3 hp (2.24 kW) drive motor. Belt tension
can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the gear reducer turnbuckle.
TUMBLER DRIVE SYSTEM
48American Dryer Corporation113549- 7
B. TUMBLER
The tumbler is made of 14-gauge stainless steel perforated panels, four (4) stainless steel ribs, and two (2) outer
tumbler rings made of rolled steel angle iron that has been turned on a lathe for smoothness. The tumbler is a
completely welded assembly , so the perforated panels
are not removable.
C. AIR BLOWER DRIVE SYSTEM
The impellor (fan) used in the dryer is a 15-inch diameter squirrel cage impellor (fan) wheel. It spins in a counterclockwise
direction looking at the back of the blower housing.
The impellor (fan) shaft is mounted in two (2) pillow block bearings, and the shaft is driven by two (2) B-section V -belts
connected to the blower motor.
The blower motor is mounted on an adjustable base. The motor position can be easily adjusted, so that proper tension
can be maintained on the V-belts.
D. SAFETY DEVICES
1. Load/Unload Door Switches
There are two (2) of these switches located above the main loading doors. These switches ensure that the doors
are closed before the dryer can start and ensures that the doors are fully open before the dryer will tilt. If the
dryer is started when the load doors are open, the microprocessor controller (computer) light emitting diode
(L.E.D.) display will show “front door not closed” or “rear door not closed” for 2 door dryers.
2. Lint Basket Switch
This switch ensures that the lint basket is closed before the dryer can start. This switch is located at the front of
the dryer at the right side of the lint basket. If the lint basket is open when the dryer is started, the microprocessor
controller (computer) L.E.D. will display “Lint Drawer Open” and will not reset until the lint drawer has been
closed. For a “clean lint” prompt the lint drawer must remain open for 15-seconds.
The automatic reset tumbler hi-limit switch is a thermostat type switch located above the lint basket. Its function
is to discontinue heat (flame) in the event of an over temperature situation (above 225° F [107° C]). This will shut
off the gas flow to the burner boxes; and the display will read an error code of “tumbler hi-limit fault.” The
automatic reset hi-limit safety will automatically reset once the temperature has fallen below 225° F (107° C).
The Phase 7 computer must be reset by pressing the Stop key, then the display will read “READY.”
These disk temperature switches have a setting of 330° F (166° C). They are located on the right side of each
burner box, and they are a manual reset type of switch. These switches ensure that there is a proper airflow
through the burner box. Upon a low airflow condition, which may be caused by a clogged lint screen excessively
long or blocked exhaust duct, or improper make-up air, the temperature in the burner boxes will increase tripping
these switches. This will shut off the gas flow to the burner boxes; and the display will read an error code of
“Burner Hi-Limit Fault.” The thermostat must be manually reset and the Phase 7 computer must be reset.
5. Sail Switch (for Gas Dryers Only)
The sail switch is located in the front of the burner box. A sail switch consists of a round damper plate on a lever
arm, which is in contact with an electric switch. When the air blower comes on, it draws air through the gas
burner. This creates a negative pressure inside the burner box. This negative pressure pulls in the sail switch. If
the sail switch does not pull in, this will prevent the dryer from operating and a sail switch fault will display .
NOTE: An overly long or blocked exhaust duct, lack of make-up air, or clogged lint screen will prevent the
sail switches from pulling in.
50American Dryer Corporation113549- 7
E. STEAM DAMPER ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The system consists of a hinged damper plate, a pneumatic piston (with an airflow needle valve) to control the speed of
the piston actuation, and a 24 volt solenoid valve.
On a call for heat, a 24 volt signal is applied to the 3-way/2-position solenoid valve. This signal switches the valve so
that compressed air is sent to the piston. The piston rod extends, pushing the hinged steam damper plate to the opened
position. This allows room air to be drawn through the hot steam coil and then through the tumbler .
When the temperature set point has been reached, the 24 volt signal is removed from the solenoid valve, so that the
solenoid valve blocks the air supply to the pistons, and the air in the pistons is bled to the atmosphere. The springs in the
pistons now retract the piston rods, closing the steam damper. The steam damper plate now covers the steam coil and
allows room air to bypass the coil before entering the tumbler for a rapid cool down.
The steam damper plate should open and close slowly and smoothly. The speed can be modulated by adjusting both
needle valve knobs. Turning the knob clockwise restricts the compressed airflow and slows down the steam damper
movement. Counterclockwise adjustment speeds up the steam damper motion. Upon completion of adjustment,
tighten the needle valve’s locking nut.
NOTE: Turning knob on flow control clockwise will restrict airflow . Turning knob counterclockwise will
allow higher airflow .

SECTION VIII
MANUAL RESET BURNER HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS
I M P O R T A N T
MANUAL RESET HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PHASE 7 MODELS
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit, which is monitored by the Phase 7 computer. If the
burner is open prior to start of the drying cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and then shutdown, the Phase 7
computer will display “burner HIGH LIMIT fault” with an audio indication.
If the burner hi-limit thermostat opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7 computer will also display the same error code
described above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer will
continue to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped below 100° F (38° C). The clear/
stop button on the Phase 7 keypad must be pressed to clear the error condition. The open manual reset hi-limit
thermostat must be reset “manually” prior to the start of the next cycle.
This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow , or improper burner operation.
The location of the burner hi-limit is on the right side of the burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the dryer.
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.

PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECK
OF REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS
1. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (T ype I)
Theory of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen
trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner
flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as
there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCKOUT” if the gas
burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The
trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/
trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not
sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds)
the DSI module will “LOCKOUT” (light emitting diode [L.E.D.]
diagnostic indicator flashes).
A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.
No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.
2. For Models with DSI Module (Type II)
Theory of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen
trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner
flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as
there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCK OUT” if the gas
burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The
trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/
trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not
sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds),
the DSI module will “LOCK OUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator
will flash).
An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.
A lit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that ALL interlocks have
been satisfied.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F .E.) SYSTEM
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM IN ACTION
The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) System will extinguish fires that may start in the drying
tumbler. A series of sensors positioned throughout the tumbler and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the
S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will
automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the tumbler
will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the system was activated and will
continue to display until the dryer is attended to.

S.A.F.E. SYSTEM THEORY OF OPERATION
While the dryer is in an idle state or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the S.A.F.E.
system probe located in the top of the tumbler chamber and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum
recorded S.A.F.E. system probe temperature is no less than 120° F (48° C) and the control detects a 50° rise in
temperature, this
While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust
temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control
detects an exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system
routine will activate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C) the trip point will be 185° F (85° C).
