Reversing the Main Loading Door Hinge Side

CLEARANCE ALL AROUND

The dryer is shipped with the main door hinge on the right hand side as standard. The swing of the door is field reversible. If required, the front panel can be reversed so that the door hinges on the left-hand side.

Tools Required

1. 3/16" Allen Wrench.

2. TORX T-25 Screw Driver.

3. Ratchet wrench, 7/16" socket, optional 3" extension; or 7/16"

box end wrench.

Procedure for reversing the Front Panel

1. Disconnect the power to the dryer.

2. Remove the main loading door from the front panel. Use the

3/16" Allen wrench to remove the top hinge block. Support the door during this operation so that it does not fall. Now lift the door off the bottom hinge.

3. Remove the bottom hinge block. Remove the plastic washer from the bottom hinge block and place it in the same location on the top hinge block.

4. Open the lint door and using the T-25 screwdriver, remove the three screws retaining the bottom of the front panel. Swing the bottom of the front panel away from the dryer about three inches. Reach behind the front panel and disconnect the door switch plug located in the lower right corner.

5. Open the control door and remove the four screws retaining the top of the front panel. Be careful that the front panel does not fall when the last screw is removed.

6. Remove the front panel from the machine and place it face down on a flat surface.

7. On the dryer there is a second plug for the door switch, located inside the upper left corner of the dryer. This plug is similar to the one in the lower right disconnected earlier, except there is a jumper on this plug. Remove the jumper and install it on the plug in the lower right.

8. Reinstall the front panel on the dryer. Check that the mounts for the door hinge are on the left-hand side. Be sure to connect the door switch plug now in the upper left corner of the dryer.

9. Reinstall the retaining screws, top and bottom.

10. The handle and hinge location on the door have to be

reversed. Position the door on a flat surface with the hinge on the right, the handle on the left, and the warning labels facing up. Use the 7/16" wrench to remove the hinge bracket, handle, and magnet stops, from the door ring. Move the hinge to the left side, and the handle and magnet stops to the right side. Reinstall and tighten all bolts.

11. Reinstall the bottom hinge block. This was the top hinge block and now has the plastic washer on it.

12. Reinstall the main loading door, and the top hinge block. The top hinge block was the bottom hinge block, now with no plastic washer on it.

13. Check that the door swings properly and that all warning signs on the inside of the door are right side up.

14. Close all doors and panels. Then reconnect the power to the dryer.

15. Check that the dryer starts with no errors.

16. Check that the dryer stops when the door is opened.

NOTE: Some doors have a custom logo bar inside. If the instructions above have been followed correctly the logo bar will be right side up. If not, follow instructions 2 through 10 for removing the door and reversing the hinge side.

Dryer Enclosure Requirements ___

Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible material.

NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.

A. The requirement to allow the loading door to open completely

for the AD-35i is 33" (83.8 cm), AD-50i/M-50p is 36" (91.4 cm), and AD-80i/M-80p is 40" (101.6 cm).

B. A minimum overhead clearance of 12" (30.48 cm) is required.

18" (45.72 cm) is recommended.

C. Dryer should be positioned a minimum of 12" (30.48 cm) away

from the nearest obstruction. 24" (60.96 cm) is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and service.

D. 1/16" (0.15875 cm) minimum is required.

E. E Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however

a 1/16" (0.15875 cm) 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" (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" (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"(10.16 cm).

I. The maximum thickness of any bulkhead or partition above

the header is 4" (10.16 cm).

2" (5.08 cm)

Fresh Air Supply Requirements ___

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 makeup air supply.

Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. Fresh air ventilation openings shall not be blocked and/or sealed. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors of 70 in.2 (451 cm2) for each AD-35i, 125 in.2 (806 cm2) for each AD-50i/M-50p, and 135in.2 (870 cm2) is required for each AD-80i/M-80p. (Based on 1in.2 [6.5 cm2] 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 makeup 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%. Makeup 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.

B B

MAKE-UP AIR OPENINGS

A = 12" (30.5 cm) B = 12" (30.5 cm)

EXAMPLE: For a bank of four AD-35i dryers, two unrestricted openings measuring 12" by 12" (30.5 cm by 30.5 cm) are acceptable. 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.

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.

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

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 airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

lint. When adding ducts, overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. 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 0.6 in WC (1.5 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 0.6" 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" (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

The ductwork for this dryer 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.

Single Dryer Venting (AD-35i)

IMPORTANT: For the AD-35i, a minimum exhaust duct size of 6"(15.24 cm) must be used.

For a 6" (15.24 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of one elbow is used, the ductwork from the dryer outlet must not exceed 25feet(7.6 meters). Refer to the following illustration.

AD-35i ONLY

HORIZONTAL SINGLE DRYER VENTING

6" (15.24 CM) DUCTING

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" [0.50 mm]) thick.”

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. There should be a minimum 6" (15.24 cm) clearance between the back guard and the first bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° bends instead. 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

area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º in the direction of airflow. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is added.

IMPORTANT: No more than four dryers should be connected to one main common duct.

The main duct may be any shape provided that the minimum cross-sectional area is maintained. The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is unusually long (over 30' [9.1 m]) or has numerous elbows (more than one) in it.
