Safety Precautions ____________________

Warning

For your safety, the information in this manual

!

must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion and to prevent property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.

The dryer must never be operated with any of the back
guards, outer tops, or service panels removed. Personal
injury or fire could result.

Failure to properly install, maintain, and/or operate dryer
according to this manual and operator’s manuals
included with dryer may result in conditions, which can
cause serious injury, death and/or property damage.

The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage
to the machine and harmful fumes.

A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection
and cleaning can best be determined from experience at
each location.

Do not operate steam dryers with more than 150 psi (10.34
bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can damage
the steam coil and/or harm personnel.

Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures
immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible
hoses. Personal injury may result.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it
is in operation.

Purchaser and user should consult the local gas supplier for

gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent
location.

What To Do If You Smell Gas:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.

Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Although the manufacturer 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, combustible detergents, industrial chemicals,
or “all purpose” cleaner. Explosion could result.

Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with
gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could
result.

Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable
or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.

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 rubber
materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage
plastics or rubber and also may be a fire hazard.

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.

NOTE: Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.

!

dryer door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat

safety circuit ever be disabled.

Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.

Warning

Articles left in the dryer after the drying and

!

cooling cycles have been completed can create

a fire hazard.

For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its
rated capacity.

Warning

You must disconnect and lockout the electric

!

supply and the gas supply or the steam supply
before any covers or guards are removed from the
machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting,
installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA
standards.

IMPORTANT: The 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).

The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of gas appliances, which take their air for safe
combustion from the same room. If in doubt, consult the
appliance manufacturer(s).

Use this dryer only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics.

4 American Dryer Corp. 112809- 6

The “cool down” cycle of tumble dryers should be used to
reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a
tumbler dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless
this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener or product.

Warning

To reduce the risk of personal injury, install

!

lockable doors to prevent public access to the

rear of the dryers.

Exhaust duct outlet should be checked periodically for
blockages, and if any found, removed.

IMPORTANT: A means of restraint must be used to prevent
straining of the gas supply when the appliance is moved.

An external means of power removal (disconnect device)
must be provided by the installer.

CE ONLY

IMPORTANT: This appliance must only be installed and
operated in the country of destination indicated on the
dryer’s data plate. If the appliance is to be installed and
operated in a country other than the one indicated on the
