SECTION I
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING AND HANDLING
The dryer is shipped with a protective polyethylene cover and protective corners and is enclosed in a cardboard
carton as a means of protection in transit. Upon delivery, the shipping carton and wooden skid should be visually
inspected for shipping damage. If the carton or wooden skid is damaged, inspect further.
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 number refused must be noted on the
receipt.
4. If you determine that the dryer has been damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call
your local freight terminal immediately and request an inspection and freight claim form. 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.
5. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please call American Dryer Corporation.
IMPORTANT: The dryer should be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL
times.
B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
4. Although the American Dryer is 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” cleaners.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
