ADC 450428 SECTION III

SECTION III

Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the

absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1-LATEST EDITION or National Electrical Code ANSI/NFP A No. 70-LA TEST EDITION,

or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural

Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LA TEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing)

or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION (for Electrical Connections).

NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For a detailed description, refer to the

ML-130 Installation Manual (ADC Part No. 113002).

Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be

made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint drawer. Also, allowances should be made in the

rear for ease of maintenance. (Refer to appropriate installation manual for recommended distances and minimum

allowances required.)

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler (basket), and

exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the

make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail

switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from

overheating. The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up

air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to

motors and other dryer components.

Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will

create excessive back pressure which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shut down of the

burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to appropriate

Installation Manual for more details.)

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED or INST ALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician

to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the

absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, material, and workmanship must conform to the applicable

requirements of 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 (for Electrical Connections).
