SECTION I

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A.  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire or explosion or 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.

1.

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

2.

Purchaser/user should consult the local gas supplier for proper instructions to be followed in the event the user
smells gas.  The instructions should be posted in a prominent location.

3.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS...

a. Do not try to light any appliance.

b. Do not touch any electrical switch.

c. Do not use any phone in your building.

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

e. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

f.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

4.

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

5.

Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.

6.

Although ADC 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, a combustible detergent, 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.

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 may be a fire hazard.

7.

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

WARNING:

The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire
hazard.

8.

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.
