Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
NOTE: A grounding connection (terminal lug) is provided in the dryer’s electrical service/relay box at the rear.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (sized per local codes) be connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground to a gas or hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connections all the way to 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 no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded. For proper operation of the microprocessor controller (computer), an earth (zero) ground is required.
NOTE: Grounding via metallic electrical conduit (pipe) is not recommended.
Gas Information ______________________
It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to ensure that the gas plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, all plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
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.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valves 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). 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).
IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve voiding the warranty.
▲! WARNING
Fire or explosion could result.
Gas Supply
The gas dryer installation must meet the American National Standard...National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
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 dryer data label. 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 ADC factory.
IMPORTANT: Any burner changes or conversions must be made by a qualified professional.
The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (609.6 meters), unless elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet (609.6 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 (609.6 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the reseller who sold the dryer or contact the ADC factory.
IMPORTANT: This gas dryer is not provided with an internal gas supply shutoff and an external gas supply shutoff must be provided.
