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.
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
•
DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
•
DO NOT use any phone in your building.
•
Clear the room, building, or area of ALL occupants.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified

Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.
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 rubberlike materials. Drying in a heated
basket (tumbler) may damage plastics or rubber
and may be a fire hazard.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of 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.
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.
NOTE:
Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly
will VOID THE WARRANTY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the dryer door switch or
the heat circuit devices ever be disabled.
WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE COULD RESULT
should the dryer door switch, lint door switch,
or heat safety circuit ever be disabled.
This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning
solvents or fumes.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.
WARNING:
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and
cooling cycles have been completed can create
a fire hazard.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL CAUTION AND DIRECTION LABELS
