American Dryer Corp MD-170 manual Shut Down Instructions, Basket Coating

7.A reversing tumbler (basket) dryer should never be operated with less than a 60 lb. (27 kg) load (dry weight). The size of the load will affect the coast-down and dwell (stop) times. The tumbler (basket) must come to a complete stop before starting in opposite direction. For microprocessor controller (computer) models, with the automatic (mode) cycle only, the Spin Time and Stop Time are not adjustable. The spin times and stop times have been preprogrammed into the microprocessor controller (computer) for 120-seconds spin time and a 5-second dwell (stop) time. (For timer controlled models, refer to the Reversing Timer Spin/Dwell Adjustments in Section VIII of this manual.)

BASKET COATING

The tumbler (basket) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and non-flammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the tumbler (basket) to remove this coating.

8.Each dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.

9.Programs/selections (for microprocessor [computer] models Only):

a.Each computer has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming manual which was shipped with the dryer.
