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.

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2
