IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING and HANDLING
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners and top cover (or
optional box) as a means of preventing damage in transit. Upon delivery, the dryer and/or packaging, and
wooden skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any damage whatsoever is noticed, inspect
further before delivering carrier leaves.
Dryers Damaged in Shipment:
1. ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.
2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker’s receipt should be so noted.
3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers which were not damaged in a
damaged shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the number refused must be noted
on the receipt.
4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call the
delivering carrier’s freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight company considers this
concealed damage. This type of freight claim is very difficult to get paid and becomes extremely difficult
when more than a day or two passes after the freight was delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight
claims. Dryer/parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under warranty.
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must be filed at the receiving end.
ADC assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at
(508) 678-9000.
IMPORTANT: The tumbler section of the dryer must be transported and handled in an upright

A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
NOTE: The access keys for the service doors are included in the information packet shipped in
the basket (tumbler). These keys should be removed and put in a safe place yet made
accessible because some will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of
the dryer.
Dryers are shipped with a coin box and coin box faceplate ONLY. The coin box lock is not included and
must be purchased elsewhere or the lock can be ordered as a parts order from the ADC factory.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed.
To unskid the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two
(2) are at the rear of the base and two (2) are located in the front. Once the bolts are removed, slide the dryer off
the skid.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4)
leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four
(4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the dryer base. The hex head adjustment bolts for the two (2) front
leveling legs are located directly behind the lower access door, and the rear two (2) adjustments are directly
behind the lower rear back (guard) panel.
B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such
codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm), 18-inches (45.72 cm) or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and
service) above the dryer’s outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
NOTE: Even though a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top is accept
able, a clearance of 18-inches (45.72 cm) or more is suggested for ease of installation
and service (electrical power connections).
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 12-inches
(30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top is required.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.
Dryers may be positioned side wall to side wall. However, allowances must be made for opening and closing of
the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away
from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back
guard). Refer to the illustration on the previous page (page 10) for details.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An
unrestricted source of 800 cfm (22.65 cmm) is necessary for each dryer. An unrestricted air entrance from the
outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. This
area must be enlarged if louvers or registers cover the opening. 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 the dryers. For example, for a bank of eight (8)
dryers, a total make-up air opening of 12 square feet (3.66 square meters) is required. Two (2) openings
measuring 2 feet by 3 feet (0.61 by 0.92 meters) - 6 square feet (0.56 square meters) - are acceptable. (Refer to
the illustration on page 12.)
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low-pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source 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.
NN

IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located near duct work exhaust outlets.
If make-up air opening(s) are too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes
may be drawn back into the dryer area through these openings.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized duct work
will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the
dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat
thermostats.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED or INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
The exhaust duct work should be laid out in such a way that the duct work travels as directly as possible to the
outdoors with as few turns as possible. When single dryer venting is used, the duct work from the dryer to the
outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the
distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters). The shape of the
exhaust duct work is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided.
1. Single Dryer Venting
Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct work
should be laid out in such a way that the duct work travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few
turns as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns in ducting be avoided; use 30º or 45º angles
instead. The shape of the exhaust duct work is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is
provided.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler)
exhaust duct area must not exceed 0.3 inches of water column (7.4 mb).
It is suggested that the duct work from each dryer not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters) with no more than two (2)
elbows. If the duct work exceeds 20 feet (6.1 meters) or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of
the duct work must be increased in proportion to length or number of elbows in it.
IMPORTANT: For extended duct work runs, the cross-sectional area of the duct work can only
be increased to an extent. When the duct work approaches the maximum limits
as noted in this manual, a professional heating venting air conditioning (HVAC)
firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
The duct work should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be
connected. ALL duct work joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the
building. Also, inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust duct work for periodic
inspection and cleaning.
NP
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: When the exhaust duct work 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.
To protect the outside end of the horizontal duct work from the weather, a 90º elbow bent downward should
be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust duct work travels vertically up through the
roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180º turn to point the opening downward. In either
case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and nearest obstruction.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust duct work.

2. 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 the airflow. The main duct should be tapered, with the
diameter increasing before each individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is added.
IMPORTANT: No more than eight (8) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common
duct. (Refer to the illustration on page 16).
NOTE: Refer to the illustration on page 16 for examples of multiple dryer (common) venting.
The main duct may be any shape so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The illustration
on page 16 shows the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be
increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is
unusually long (over 20 feet [6.1 meters]) or has numerous elbows (more than two [2]) in it.
IMPORTANT: For extended duct work runs, the cross section area of the duct work can only
be increased to an extent. Maximum proportional duct work runs cannot
exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters) more than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.1
meters) with two (2) elbows. When the duct work approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating venting air conditioning
(HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler)
exhaust duct area must not exceed 0.3 inches water column (W.C.) - 0.74 mb.
The duct work should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be
connected. ALL duct work joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the
building. Also, inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust duct work for periodic
inspection and cleaning.
NOTE: When the exhaust duct work 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.
To protect the outside end of the horizontal duct work from the weather, a 90º elbow bent downward
should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust duct work travels vertically up
through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180º turn to point the opening
downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and
nearest obstruction.

power distribution block located in the service box at the rear, upper left hand corner of the dryer. To
gain access to the service box and contactor, the service box cover must be removed.
Providing local codes permit, power to the dryer can
be made by use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/
pigtail (wire size must conform to the rating of the
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.

3. Piping Connections
ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code SpecificationsANSI Z223.1-LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (liquid propane
[L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and
ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional. 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
BTUs being supplied.
The dryer is provided with a 3/4-inch N.P.T. inlet pipe connection located at the upper right hand corner
(when viewed from the rear ) of the dryer. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 3/4” N.P.T.
For ease of servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.
The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the
gas meter (or in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank), the number of tees, other gas operated appliances on
the supply line, etc. Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas
supplier.
NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent pressure which will result
in erratic operation of the burner ignition system.
Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch pipe loop be
installed in the supply line servicing the bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in
the gas supply line (header) if (natural) gas line pressure exceeds 12.0 inches water column pressure
(29.2 mb.) Refer to the illustration on the following page [page 24] for details.
IMPORTANT: Water column pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas dryers and
10.5 inches (26.1 mb) for L.P. gas is required at the gas valve pressure tap
of each dryer for proper and safe operation.
An 1/8-inch N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas
supply line immediately upstream of each dryer.
IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be
used.
IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid
detergent works well).

WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!
IMPORTANT: 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).
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).

H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1. Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer’s data label affixed on
the back of the dryer control (service) door.
3. GAS MODELS - check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the
dryer’s data label.
4. GAS & ELECTRIC MODELS - the sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must
be checked to assure that this important safety control is functioning.
5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness.
6. GAS MODELS - be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
7. Be sure ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.
8. Check the lint door to assure that it is closed and secured in place.
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
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.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
a. COIN MODELS ONLY
1) The light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display(s) will flash back and forth between “FILL” and the
amount needed to start the dryer (i.e., “25”), meaning that the dryer is available and 25¢ is required
to start it.
2) Insert the proper number of coins into coin acceptor. Once the correct amount needed to start the
dryer has been inserted, the L.E.D. display(s) will read “PUSH.”
3) Start the dryer by pressing the desired setting (i.e., “LO” selection for the upper basket/tumbler).
The L.E.D. display will now read the selection (setting) made and the amount of time vended (i.e.,
“LO 10”).
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart dryer,
shut the main door and press desired setting.
OR
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
4) Open main door to stop the dryer, and change selection to “PERM PRESS” (medium) setting.
Repeat this procedure, but change the selection (setting) to “HI” (high). This will confirm that
setting key circuits and door switch circuits are functioning properly.
5) Repeat above procedure for the other basket (tumbler).
b. OPL (NON-COIN) MODELS ONLY
1) The light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display(s) will read “FILL” meaning that the dryer is available.
2) Start the dryer by pressing the “E” of the keyboard (touch pad). The L.E.D. display will quickly
show “Ld 30,” “LC 04,” “F 180.” The dryer will start and the L.E.D. display will show “dr 30.”
NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart the dryer,
shut the main door and press “ENTER/START.”
3) Repeat above procedure for the other basket (tumbler).
2. Heat Circuit Operational Test.
a. 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.
NOTE:
During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
NOTE: Gas dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system which has internal
diagnostics. If ignition is not established after the first attempt, the heat circuit in the DSI
module will lockout until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close
the main door and restart the dryer.
b. Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each
dryer to assure that the water column pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):
Natural Gas................................... 3.5 Inches Water Column (8.7 mb).
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ............ 10.5 Inches Water Column (26.1 mb).
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in a L.P. Dryer. The water column (W.C.)
pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator
must be added to each dryer.
3. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to insure that the timing is correct and
that the temperatures are set properly.
OS
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., door switches, hi-limit thermostats,
sail switches, basket [tumbler] safety thermostats, etc.).
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the control door while
the dryer is running and the heating unit (burner) active (on). The heating unit(s) should
shut off within a few seconds. If not, make the necessary adjustments.
5. Each basket (tumbler) should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further
adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
BASKET COATING
The basket (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 basket
(tumbler) to remove this coating.
NOTE: Drying and cooling cycles are complete when the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display
reads “donE.”
6. Computer Programs/Selections...
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used program (parameter) selections. If microprocessor controller (computer) program changes
are required, refer to the computer programming manual which was shipped with the dryer.
7. On models manufactured for 3-phase (3ø) electrical input voltage, check the electrical service phase
sequence. While the dryer is operating, check to see if the baskets (tumblers) are rotating in the clockwise
(CW) direction (when viewed from the front of the dryer). If the baskets (tumblers) rotate counterclockwise
(CCW), the phasing is incorrect. Reverse the two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power
supply to the dryer.
J. SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
In the case where the dryer is to be shut down (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be
performed:
1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Discontinue the gas supply (for gas models Only):
a. SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve (for both the top basket [tumbler] and the bottom
basket [tumbler] where the independent supply line for each basket [tumbler] is used).
b. SHUT OFF internal gas supply shutoff valve located in the gas valve burner area (for both the
top basket [tumbler] and the bottom basket [tumbler]).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. STARTING THE DRYER
The dryer is available for use when the appropriate microprocessor controller (computer) light emitting diode
(L.E.D.) display reads “FILL” and/or the amount needed to start the dryer (i.e., “25”). Once the load has been
put into the dryer and the main door is closed, start the dryer as follows:
1. Insert the proper number of coins into the coin acceptor. Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been
inserted, the L.E.D. display will read “PUSH.”
2. Determine fabric setting (selection). Setting “HI TEMP” is the high temperature range, “PERM PRESS” is
the medium-range temperature setting, and “LO TEMP” is the low-range temperature.
Once the fabric temperature setting (selection) has been determined, start the dryer by pressing the fabric
setting key.
3. The dryer will now start, and the L.E.D. display will read the setting and the time vended (i.e., “LO 10”).
4. The cycle time will count down until the drying and cooling cycles are completed.
5. Upon completion of the drying cycle and cooling cycle, the dryer will shut off, the tone (buzzer) will sound
for 5-seconds, and the L.E.D. display will read “donE.”
NOTE: If the Anti-Wrinkle program is active, the L.E.D. display will remain reading “donE,”
and the microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed through the Anti-Wrinkle
program until the maximum “Active Guard Time” has expired or until the main door is
opened, whichever comes first.
NOTE: If the Anti-Wrinkle program is not active or in use, the L.E.D. display will read “donE”
until the main door is opened, at which time, the L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or
the “Amount To Start.”
a. Notes
1) The dryer basket (tumbler) can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart dryer,
shut the main door and press desired setting.

SECTION VII
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. CLEANING
A program 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 duct work system. The frequency of cleaning can best be
determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air
circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC
dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble-free, and most importantly safe operation.
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR and FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS and
LIQUIDS.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to
eight (8) operational (running) hours per day.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
DAILY (beginning of each work shift)
Clean lint from basket(s)/tumbler(s).
Inspect lint screen(s)/drawer(s) for damage and replace if torn.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from around microprocessor temperature sensor probes and sensor bracket
assemblies.
PP

G. Microprocessor controller (computer) light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display reads “Hot”...
The “Hot” display condition indicates a possible overheating condition. The microprocessor controller
(computer) monitors the temperature in the dryer at ALL times. If the microprocessor detects that the
temperature in the dryer has exceeded 220º F (104º C), it will disable ALL of the dryer outputs (shut the
dryer down), the buzzer (tone) will sound for approximately 5-seconds, and the L.E.D. display will read
“Hot.” The L.E.D. display will continue to read “Hot” until the temperature has dropped to 220º F (104º C)
or lower and the microprocessor controller (computer) is manually reset by closing and opening the Program
Switch (PS).
Possible reasons for overheating ...
1. Restriction in location exhaust duct work ...
a. Dryer exhaust damper stuck in closed position.
b. Undersized exhaust duct work.
2. Insufficient make-up air.
H. Microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D. display reads “SEFL”...
The “SEFL” display condition indicates a rotational sensor circuit failure which means that there is a fault
somewhere in the basket (tumbler) rotation detection circuit ... or ... the microprocessor controller
(computer) program related to this circuit (PL01) is set incorrectly in the active mode (“SEn”) where the
dryer is not equipped with the optional rotation sensor and should be set in the nonactive mode (“nSEN”).
If the dryer is equipped with the optional rotational sensor and for whatever reason the microprocessor
controller (computer) detects that the basket (tumbler) is not turning, it will disable ALL of the dryer
outputs (shut the dryer down), and the L.E.D. display will read “SEFL.” The L.E.D. display will continue
to read “SEFL” until the microprocessor is manually reset by closing and opening the Program Switch (PS).
Possible causes:
1. Loose/slipping (out of proper adjustment) basket/tumbler and/or idler belt.
2. Broken basket (tumbler) and/or idler belt.

PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECK
OF REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS
1. Microprocessor Controller (computer) Board
a. Upon completing installation of the replacement microprocessor controller (computer) board, reestablish
power to the dryer.
b. Start the drying cycle.
c. Verify that the motors and the heat indicator dots, in the microprocessor controller (computer) light
emitting diode (L.E.D.) display are on. (Refer to the illustration below.)
d. Verify that motor’s heat and door indicator lights on the back side of the microprocessor controller
(computer) board are lit. (Refer to illustration below.)
QQ
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
e. Open main door. The dryer must stop and ALL indicator lights on the back side of the microprocessor
controller (computer) board must go out.
f. Try to restart the dryer with the main door open.
g. The microprocessor controller (computer) board’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display must read
“DOOR.”
h. Close the main door and restart the dryer.
i. Functional check of microprocessor controller (computer) board is complete.
2. For Models With Johnson Controls Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (G760)
Theory Of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds),
the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open...as long
as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the
end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3)
retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the third
retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds) the DSI module will “LOCKOUT” (L.E.D. flashes).
A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.
No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.

3. For Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) System Models Manufactured With ADC Module Part No. 880815
a. Upon completing installation of the
replacement DSI module, reestablish power
to the dryer.
b. Start the drying cycle.
c. The ignition DSI module’s light emitting
diode (L.E.D.) indicator will light “red” for
up to approximately 1.5-seconds (prepurge
time).
d. The module’s indicator light will then turn
“green.” The gas valve will be energized and
the ignitor probe will spark for approximately
8-seconds. The burner flame should now be
established.
e. With the burner flame on, remove the flame
sensor wire from the FS terminal of the DSI
module.
f. The burner flame must shut off and the
ignition module must lockout with the DSI
module’s indicator light “red.”
g Stop the drying cycle, with the flame sensor wire still removed, restart the drying cycle.
h. The ignition module must proceed through the prepurge, with the indicator light “red,” the ignition
trial time of approximately 8-seconds, with the indicator light “green,” and then proceed to lock out
with the indicator light “red.”
i. Functional check of the DSI module is complete.
1) Replace the flame sensor wire from the FS terminal to the DSI module.

SECTION XI
BURNER/TUMBLER HI-LIMIT MANUAL
RESET INSTRUCTIONS
Both the top and bottom tumbler of this dryer is equipped/manufactured with a burner manual reset hi-limit and
manual reset tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit thermostat. If either manual reset hi-limit thermostat is open prior to
the start of the drying cycle, or during the drying cycle, the dryer will not recognize the open (tripped) state of
the applicable basket/tumbler hi-limit thermostat and will start or continue through the drying cycle with no
heat. The applicable open/tripped manual reset hi-limit must be reset manually. This hi-temperature condition
may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow, or improper burner operation. The burner manual reset
hi-limit is located at the gas/valve manifold left burner chamber area. The tumbler manual reset hi-limit is
located in the (right) lint chamber area.
IMPORTANT
This dryer is equipped with a burner
hi-limit and tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit
thermostat which must be reset manually.
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer
before attempting to reset hi-limit.
