American Dryer Corp. SL20 - Manual (Page 16)

14 113191-2
Installation _____________________________
Requirements
The inlet water connection to the dryer is a 3/4-11.5 NH, the
S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water pipe
size of 1/2” and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi
(2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual
bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure
requirements is required.
Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to
electric water solenoid valve by vibration.
Important
Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid
valve failure due to hard plumbing connections will
void 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.
Warning
If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve
freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be inoperative!!
Important
Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using
a new hose-set and the old hose-sets should not be
reused.
Water Connections
The water connection is made to the 3/4-11.5 NH hose
adapter of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the
rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photo). The
water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T. connection supplied
with a 3/4-11.5 NH hose adapter to provide the minimum
1/2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water
solenoid valve.
Important
Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid
valve failure due to hard plumbing connections will
void warranty. It is recommended that a filter or
strainer be installed in the water supply line.

The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.)
system will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket
(tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the
basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will
trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish
the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will
automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or
reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket
(tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The
microprocessor will display that the system was activated
and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.
We have tried to make this manual as complete as possible
and hope you will find it useful. ADC reserves the right to
make changes from time to time, without notice or obligation,
in prices, specifications, colors, and material, and to change
or discontinue models.
Before You Start _______________________
Check Local Codes And Permits
Call your local water company or the proper municipal
authority for information regarding local codes.
Important
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing
connections made by a qualified professional to
ensure that the plumbing installation is adequate
and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.
It is the installation or owner’s responsibility to see that the
necessary or required water, water pressure, pipe size, or
connections are provided. The manufacturer assumes no
responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed,
or maintained properly.
