Exhaust Requirements _______________

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, and shutdown of the burner by the burner hi-limits or exhaust hi-limit protector thermostat. The cabinet must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

The design of the flue system shall be such that any condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or discharged.

CAUTION: This gear cabinet produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.

Venting

!

WARNING

NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”

The ductwork for this appliance must be suitable for the appliance category in accordance with national installation regulations of the country of destination.

Outside Ductwork Protection

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 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 the nearest obstruction (refer to the diagram).

IMPORTANT: Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

Do not use inline lint filters. This can increase static pressure, decrease efficiency , and create a potential fire hazard.

CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.

The 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. Ductwork should not be over 14 feet (4.3 meters) and two 90° elbows. The radius of the elbows 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, overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork joins must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping in the building. Back draft dampers must be installed in all commonly ducted systems. 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.

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 must be centered within this opening.

For best performance provide an individual exhaust duct for each gear cabinet. Do not install a hot water heater in a room containing gear cabinets. It is better to have the water heater in a separate room with a separate air inlet.

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 cabinet is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the cabinet, 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. Premature motor failure may occur from overheating. The cabinet 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 cabinet. Fresh air ventilation openings shall not be blocked and/or sealed. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors of 128 inch on 1 inch2 [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)

It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each cabinet. 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 cabinets.

Layout

Required make-up air opening (to the outside) for each gear cabinet is 60 square inches (387 sq. cm).

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 cabinets are located at high altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.

2

(826 cm2) is required for each cabinet. (Based

113015-7 www.adclaundry.com 9

IMPORT ANT: 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 cabinet components.

NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will void the warranty.

Routine Maintenance _________________

Cleaning

A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the cabinet, 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 airflow. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, the cabinet will provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly , safe operation.

NOTE: An R.M.A. is valid for only 30 days from date of issue. The R.M.A. issued by the factory, as well as any other

correspondence pertaining to the returned part(s), must be included inside the package with the failed merchandise.

Each part must be tagged with the following information: Model number and serial number of the gear cabinet from

which part was removed. Nature of failure (be specific). Date of cabinet installation. Date of part failure. Specify whether the part(s) being returned is for a credit,

replacement, or a refund. NOTE: If a part is marked for a credit or a refund, the invoice

number covering the purchase of the replacement part must be provided.

Warranty tags (Part No. 450064) are available at “no charge” from ADC upon request.

The company returning the part(s) must clearly note the complete company name and address on the outside of the package.

All returns must be properly packaged to ensure that they are not damaged in transit. Damage claims are the responsibility of the shipper.

IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be issued for merchandise damaged in transit.

!

WARNING

Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible. The accumulation of lint can create a potential fire hazard. Keep gear cabinet area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average

usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running) hours per day.

IMPORTANT: Gear cabinet produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.

Suggested Cleaning Schedule Weekly

Clean lint accumulation from thermostat and microprocessor temperature sensor area.

!

WARNING

To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue electrical supply to the cabinet.

Steam Dryers

Clean the steam coil fins. It is suggested that compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment be used.

All returns should be shipped to the factory in such a manner that they are insured and a proof of delivery can be obtained by the sender.

Shipping charges are not the responsibility of ADC. All returns should be “prepaid” to the factory. Any “C.O.D.” or “COLLECT” returns will not be accepted.

IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be issued if the claim cannot be processed due to insufficient information. The party filing the claim will be notified in writing, either by “FAX” or “CERTIFIED MAIL – Return Receipt Requested,” as to the information necessary to process claim.

Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing opening.

Every 6 Months

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

NOTE: The accumulation of lint in the exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.

!

WARNING

NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which can cause the damper to bind or stick.

A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

When cleaning the gear cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.

Adjustments 7 Days After Installation

and Every 12 Months Thereafter

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections. Complete an operational check of controls. Complete an operational check of safety hi-limit thermostats.
