Fresh Air Supply Requirements ______

Exhaust 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 make-up air supply.

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.

The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney,

wall, ceiling or concealed space of a building.

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 135 inch²(871 cm²) is required for each dryer. (Based on

1 inch²[6.5 cm²] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)

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.

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 make-up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.

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-inch (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 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. 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.

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 dryers are located at high altitudes

or predominantly low pressure areas.

Note: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent

fumes will void the warranty.

A = 16-inches (40.6 cm)

B = 17-inches (43.2 cm)

Important: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans

not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.

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 (1.48 mb).

Note: 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.

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.”

EXAMPLE: For a bank of four dryers, two unrestricted openings measuring

16-inches by 17-inches (40.6 cm by 43.2 cm) are acceptable.

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.

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.

Single Dryer Venting

20 feet (6.10 meters)

8” (20.32 cm)

20 feet (6.10 meters)

8” (20.32 cm)

Important: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-

sectional 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.

Horizontal Venting

When horizontal dryer venting is used, the length of the

ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet, must

not exceed 20 feet (6.10 meters). The minimum diameter of

this ductwork must be at least 8-inches (20.32 cm). Including

tumbler/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside

protection from the weather, no more than 1 elbow should be

used in the exhaust duct run. If more than 1 elbow is used,

the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased.

Vertical Venting

When vertical dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork

from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet, must not exceed

20 feet (6.10 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork

must be at least 8-inches (20.32 cm). Including tumbler/dryer

elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from

the weather, no more than 3 elbows should be used in the

exhaust duct run. If more than 3 elbows are used, the cross-

sectional area of the ductwork must be increased.

NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)

larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered

within this opening.

NOTE 2 Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest

obstruction.

Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

Important: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-

sectional 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.

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 4 dryers should be connected to

1 main common duct.

The illustration on the next page shows the minimum cross-

sectional area for multiple dryer round or square venting.

These figures must be increased if the main duct run from

the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer

than 12 feet (3.656 meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it.

Grounding

A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed

in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or

codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes,

grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST

EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to

applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes

Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The

ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the

location service panel.

For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested

that a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be

connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a

grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or

hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have

metal-to-metal connection all the way to the electrical ground.

If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter,

pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they

must be jumped out with a wire (size per local codes) and

securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.

Caution

The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug

has been provided for this purpose.

Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the

dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s

data label.

Important: A strain relief must be used where the input

wiring enters the oven assembly.

Important: For personal safety and proper operation, the

dryer must be grounded.

Electrically Heated Models Only

Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at

the electrical service connection area.

The electrical input connections are made at the rear service

box located at the right upper section of the dryer. The ground

connection is made to a copper lug also provided in this area.

To gain access, remove rear service cover.

Electrical Connections

A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for

connection data.

The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the

3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes neutral)

and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuit

and for any single-phase (1ø) motors (if present) is done

internally to the dryer by the factory at the oven contactor.

No single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a

3-phase (3ø) dryer.

If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the

use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must

conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired

directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain

relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.

The neutral will only be used on 4-wire service. This is typical

for 380-416V, 50 Hz.

For CE Models Only

Caution

The means for disconnection from the supply must be

incorporated into wiring having a minimum contact separation

of 3.0 mm in all poles.

The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug

has been provided for this purpose.

Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the

dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s

data label.

It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable

pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the

total amount of all the appliance Btu being supplied.

Important: Failure to comply with these codes or

ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this

manual, can result in personal injury and improper

operation of the dryer.

Electric Models Only

Single-Phase (1ø) Wiring Connections / Hookup

For ease of service, the individual gas supply line of each

dryer must have its own manual shutoff valve.

The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during

any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in

excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for

CE dryers.

Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as

noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve,

voiding the warranty.

Note: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve

during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-

CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.

Warning

Fire or explosion could result due to failure of

isolating or disconnecting the gas supply as

noted.

Note: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition

problems, slow drying, increased use of energy, and can

create a safety hazard.

The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated

on the data label and pressure must be confirmed. If this

information does not agree with the type of gas available, do

not operate the dryer. Contact the reseller who sold the dryer

or contact the manufacturer.

3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connections / Hookup

The input ratings shown on the data label are for elevations

up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements

of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time

the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment

or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000

feet (610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice.

If this conversion is necessary, contact the reseller who sold

the dryer or contact the manufacturer.

Important: If connection to this appliance is made with a

flexible hose, it must be suitable for the appliance category

in accordance with national installation regulations of the

country of destination, and if in doubt the installer must

contact the supplier. The manufacturer of this appliance

does not recommend the use of flexible gas supply line/

hose. An external gas supply shutoff must be provided.

Gas Pressure Testing _________________

For proper operation, the gas pressure must be correct,

consistent and maintained at the gas pressure rates shown

on page 14. Provisions are made at the gas valve for taking

gas pressure readings.

Steam Information ____________________

It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections made

by a qualified professional to ensure that the steam plumbing

installation is adequate and conforms with local, state, and

country regulations or codes.

There are 2 types of devices used to measure gas pressure.

They are the spring/mechanical type gauge and the

manometer. The use of the spring/mechanical type gauge is

not recommended because they are very easily damaged

and are not always accurate. The preferred type of gauge is

the manometer because it is a simple device to use and is

highly accurate. Amanometer is simply a glass or transparent

plastic tube with a scale graduated in inches or millibar. When

it is filled with water and pressure is applied, the water in the

tube rises, showing the exact gas pressure.

Care must be exercised when leveling steam dryers into final

position. After leveling the dryer, check the downward pitch

of the heat exchanger from front to rear with a level. Likewise,

check the downward pitch of the return condensate manifold

toward its outlet part. Absence of these downward pitches

will result in probable water hammer and premature heat

exchanger fracture and leakage.

The presence of condensate in the steam will cause water

hammer and subsequent heat exchanger failure. The steam

supply connection must be taken from the top of a

well-dripped steam main. If the supply run-out to the dryer

exceeds 25 feet (7.6 meters), it should be dripped just before

the control valve with a proper trap and dirt pocket.

Gas Pressure Test Procedure

Turn gas cock in gas supply line to “OFF” position.

Important: Failure to comply with the requirements

stipulated in this manual can result in component failure,

which will void the warranty.

50 Hz dryers: Back out miniature screw inside pressure tap

and attach manometer.

60 Hz dryers: Install pressure tap and attach manometer.

Turn gas cock to “ON” position.

Steam Coil pH Level

Start the dryer in Heat Mode and wait for ignition. Gas

manifold pressure should be as shown on page 14.

The normal pH level for copper type steam coils must be

maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type

steam coils the pH level must be maintained between a value

of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid attack of

the steam coils.

Once test is complete, turn gas cock to “OFF” position.

Remove manometer. Tighten screw inside the pressure tap

or install plug.

Turn gas cock to “ON” position and check for leaks with soap

solution with main burner “ON.”

Important: Coil failure due to improper pH level will void

the warranty.

The minimum operating pressure for optimum results is 100 psig (689.47

kPa).

It is the installer’s or owner’s responsibility to see that the

required water pressure, pipe size, or connections are

provided. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility if

the fire suppression system is not connected, installed, or

maintained properly.

Installation Instructions

To ensure an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure

that the steam supply lines and steam return lines are sized

and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam

supply lines and steam return lines or improper steam

plumbing will result in poor performance and can cause

component failure. Clean, dry steam must be provided to

the dryer.

Installation

Water Supply

The fire suppression system must be supplied with a minimum

water pipe size of 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) and be provided with 40

psi +/- 20 psi (2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure.

Important: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet

steam will void the warranty.

If the rear area of the dryer or the water supply is located in

an area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing

temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water

lines from freezing.

The presence of condensate in the steam supply line will

cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger (steam

coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the main

supply line must be made with a minimum 10-inch (25.4 cm)

riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining towards

the dryer.

Warning

If the water in the supply line or water solenoid

valve freezes, the fire suppression system will

be inoperative!!

The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch

(30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and check valve. This

will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.

Water Connections

Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates

slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil

connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and

return mains.

The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose

adaptor, which is shipped in the tumbler and must be installed

to the 1/2” N.P.T. water connection, located at the upper rear

of the dryer. A flexible supply line/coupling must be used in

an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.

Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply

line, return line, and drip trap return line. This will allow the

dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the return main

if the dryer needs maintenance work.

Note: The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw

thread. It is not to be confused with 3/4” N.P.T. The

sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer

opposed to the mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The

2 thread designs are not compatible.

Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at least

12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam coil as close to the

coil as possible. A trap with a minimum capacity of 272 lb

(123.37 kg) of condensate per hour at 125 psi (8.62 bar) is

needed for each unit. (Based on 2 times the steam

consumption per hour.)

It is recommended that a filter or strainer be installed in the

water supply line.

The supply line and the return line should be insulated. This

will save energy and provide for the safety of the operator

and maintenance personnel.

Important: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used.

Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections

will void warranty.

Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will

provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil

damage. All horizontal runs of steam supply piping should

be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every 1 foot (0.31 meters)

back towards the steam supply header causing the

condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass

trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.

The dryer is to be connected to the water mains using a

new hose set and the old hose set should not be reused.

Electrical Requirements

No independent external power source or supply connection

is necessary. The 24-volt power to operate the fire

suppression system is accomplished internally in the dryer

(from the dryer controls).

Important: Flexible hoses/couplings must be used. Coil

failure due to hard plumbing connections will void the

warranty.

American Dryer Corp.

113615-2

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Warning

Note: Water column pressure requirements (measured at

the pressure tap of the gas valve body) must be verified.

Electrical power must be provided to the dryer

at all times. If the main electrical power supply

to the dryer is disconnected, the fire suppression

system is inoperative!!

Important: In most cases there is no regulator provided in

an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be

regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator

must be added to each dryer.

Preparation for Operation/Start-Up __

The following items should be checked before attempting to

operate the dryer:

Electrical Dryers

Check to ensure that electric oven/contactor assembly is

activating.

• Read all “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION”

labels attached to the dryer.

Safety Related Circuits

Make a complete operational check of all safety related

circuits:

• Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the

same as indicated on the data label. In the case of 208

VAC or 240 VAC, the supply voltage must match the

electric service exactly.

• Door Switch(es)

• GAS MODELS – Check to ensure that the dryer is

connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer

data label.

• Hi-Limit Thermostats

• Sail Switch

• GAS MODELS – Be sure that all gas shutoff valves are

in the open position.

Make a complete operational check of all operating controls.

• Be sure all back panels (guards) and electric box covers

are in place.

Tumbler Coating

The tumbler is treated with a protective coating. We suggest

dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of

water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them

in the tumbler to remove this coating.

• Be sure the service doors are closed and securely in

place.

• Be sure the lint door/drawer is securely in place.

• Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand to be sure it moves

freely.

Microprocessor Programs/Selections

• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for

tightness and security.

Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been

preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used

parameter (program) selections. If computer program

changes are required, refer to the computer programming

manual, which was shipped with the dryer.

• Check that the vent is connected to the dryer and is

exhausted to the outdoors.

• STEAM MODELS – Check to ensure all steam shutoff

valves are open.

Preoperational Instructions __________

Preoperational Test __________________

Important: For more detailed information regarding the

microprocessor controller (computer), refer to the

microprocessor user’s manual included with the dryer.

All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving

the factory. However, a preoperational test should be

performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible

that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal

location (installation) conditions.

Coin Models

Microprocessor Controller (Computer)

Turn on electric power to the dryer.

When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the ready

state, the L.C.D. screen will display “Ready, Insert $XX.XX

(amount) to Start”.

Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular

model dryer.

Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount to Start” has been

inserted, the L.C.D. will display “Select Temperature”.

Gas Dryers

Open all shutoff valves.

Select temperature by pressing “HI,” “MED,” or “LO.” The

cycle will start and the L.C.D. will display the Dry Cycle

selected and the remaining time.

When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it

has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This

is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may

take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the lines.

The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles,

until the vended time has expired.

Note: During the purging period, check to be sure that all

gas shutoff valves are open.

Note: To stop the dryer, open main door. Continuation of

the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed

and any one of the 3 temperature selections is pressed.

Agas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure

tap of each dryer to ensure that the water column pressure is

correct and consistent.

Routine Maintenance _________________

Cleaning

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

opening.

Aprogram and/or schedule should be established for periodic

inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas

of the dryer, 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 dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble

free, and most importantly, safe operation.

Note: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching

ignitor/flame-probe assembly.

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

Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible.

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.

The accumulation of lint can create a potential

fire hazard. Keep dryer area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors and liquids.

A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can

result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety

switches or thermostats.

Note: Suggested time intervals shown are for average

usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running)

hours per day.

When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh

abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of

appliances is recommended.

Important: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be

exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the

exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.

7 Days After Installation

and Every 12 Months Thereafter

Suggested Cleaning Schedule

Every Third or Fourth Load

Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint

screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/

drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.

Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,

and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.

A competent professional should inspect bolts, nuts, screws,

setscrews, grounding connections and nonpermanent gas

connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Belts

should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should

be replaced. Complete an operational check of controls and

valves. Complete an operational check of all safety devices

(lint door/drawer switch, door switches, sail switch, and

hi-limit thermostats).
