A. UNPACKING/SETTING UP  
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap, and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.  
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid the  
dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are at the  
rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber. To  
remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door. Once the bolts are removed, slide  
the dryer off the skid.  
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4)  
leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame. The dryer is equipped with four (4)  
leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the dryer base. Two (2) are located at the rear of the dryer base, and two  
(2) are located in the lint chamber.  
To increase bearing life and improve efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.  
B. LOCATION OF THE DRYER  
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such  
codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas CodeANSI.Z223.1 LATEST 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 LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).

(refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).  
7. Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as  
noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).  
8. Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual  
(refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).  
IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be necessary.  
9. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.  
10. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.  
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6  
months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.  
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient  
temperature remains between 40º F (4.44º C) and 130º F (54.44º C).  
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS  
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of  
12-inches (30.48 cm), 18-inches (45.72 cm) or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and  
service, above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer, which may be closed in if desired. The  
clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not  
extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front.  
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.  
IMPORTANT: If the dryer is installed in a closet type enclosure there must be no other fuel burning  
appliance installed in the same closet.  
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be  
made for opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned  
about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service  
(to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration below for details.

NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.  
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS  
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An  
unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 400 cfm (cubic feet per minute)  
(11.3 cmm [cubic meters per minutes]) must be supplied to each gas dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air  
entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1 square foot (0.093 square meters) is required for  
each dryer. If registers or louvers are installed over the openings, then the area must be increased. It is not  
necessary to have separate make-up air openings for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable.  
However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to the dryers. The  
dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.  
EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 2 feet  
(0.61 meters by 0.61 meters) are acceptable.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust  
vents exit the building.  
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive  
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes.  
Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in  
irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.  
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes willVOIDTHEWARRANTY.

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS  
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will  
create excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer,  
and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-limit thermostats.  
(Refer to the illustrations on page 11 and page 12 for details.) The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust  
duct connection to the outside.  
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.  
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATE APOTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.  
When possible, it is desirable to provide a separate exhaust air duct for each dryer. The duct should go as directly  
as possible to the outside air. Avoid sharp 90º right-angle turns in ducting; use 30º or 45º angles instead. The  
radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. To protect the outside end of  
the duct from the weather, it may be bent downwards as indicated on page 11 and page 12. Leave at least twice  
the diameter of the duct as clearance between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction. If the exhaust duct  
goes through the roof, it may be protected from the weather by using a 180º turn to point the opening down. Allow  
at least twice the diameter of the duct as clearance from the nearest obstruction.  
DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork. The ducting should be  
smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. Additionally,  
inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and  
cleaning.  
Inadequate exhaust facilities may cause high temperature limit switches or airflow switches to shut off the  
dryers. DO NOT disable the switches, which are provided for your safety. Instead, investigate the exhaust  
ducting. Any obstruction or air friction due to numerous elbows/fittings in the ducting will slow the passage of air  
through the system with resulting inefficiency and potential fire hazard.  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer’s exhaust duct area  
must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column  
(W.C.).  
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible  
materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around).  
The duct must be centered within this opening.  
IMPORTANT: The dryer exhaust duct must not be connected to any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling,  
or concealing space of a building.  
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork  
system.  
NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be  
constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in  
strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26  
gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”

SINGLE DRYER VENTING  
IMPORTANT: A minimum exhaust duct size of 6-inches (15.24 cm) must be used.  
For a 6-inch (15.24 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of one (1) elbow is used (refer to the illustration  
below), the ductwork from the dryer outlet must not exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters).  
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the  
cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.  
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be  
increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits noted in  
this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm  
should be consulted for proper venting information.  
When single 6-inch (15.24 cm) venting is used, for a horizontal run, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside  
outlet cannot exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters) in total length. This calculation of 8 feet (2.44 meters) compensates  
or allows for the use of a maximum of one (1) elbow (which is the outside outlet protection). Refer to the  
illustration above.

IMPORTANT: A minimum exhaust duct size of 8-inches (20.32 cm) must be used.  
For an 8-inch (20.32 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of one (1) elbow is used (refer to the illustration  
below), the ductwork from the dryer outlet must not exceed 40 feet (12.2 meters).  
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the  
cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.  
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be  
increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits noted in  
this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm  
should be consulted for proper venting information.  
When single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used, for a horizontal run, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside

H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP  
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:  
1. Read ALL CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.  
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label.  
3. GAS MODELS - check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer  
data label.  
4. The sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However, each  
sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety control is functioning.  
5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness.  
6. GAS MODELS - be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.  
7. Be sure ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.  
8. Check the lint door to ensure that it is closed and secured in place.  
IMPORTANT: If during installation the lint door safety chain was disconnected, it must be  
reconnected or personal injury may result.  
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler) by hand to be sure it moves freely.  
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS  
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test  
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or  
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.  
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.  
2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.  
3. Gas Dryers  
a. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition  
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air  
to be purged from the lines.  
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.  
24  
American Dryer Corp.  
113222-5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
NOTE: Gas model dryers are equipped with an ignition system, which has internal diagnostics. If  
ignition is not established after one (1) time, the heat circuit in the ignition module will attempt  
two (2) more ignitions (total of three [3] ignition attempts). If there is no flame after the third  
ignition attempt, the module will lock out until it is manually reset. To reset the ignition system,  
open and close the main door and restart the dryer.  
b. A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that the water  
column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.  
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):  
Natural Gas----------------------- 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.  
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ------ 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.  
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be  
regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each  
dryer.  
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits:  
a. Door Switch(es)  
b. Hi-Limit Thermostats  
c. Cycling Thermostats  
d. Sail Switch  
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint door while the heating  
circuit (gas burner/electric oven) is active (on). The heating unit should shut off within a few  
seconds. If not, make necessary adjustments to the sail switch.  
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.  
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the  
manual supplied with the dryer.  
6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are  
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.  
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING  
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material  
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove  
this coating.  
7. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check  
to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the  
blower wheel (impellor/fan) should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If  
the phasing is incorrect, reverse the two (2) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply to the  
dryer.

SECTION VI  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
A. CLEANING  
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from  
various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be  
determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air  
circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC  
dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.  
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLYCOMBUSTIBLE. THE  
ACCUMULATION OFLINT CAN CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: KEEPDRYERAREACLEARAND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORSAND  
LIQUIDS.  
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered six (6) to eight (8)  
operational (running) hours per day.  
IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6  
months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE  
EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD  
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. Aclogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint  
screen is located behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the lint door, brush the lint off the lint screen,  
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.  
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best be determined from experience at each  
location.  
WEEKLY  
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)  
area.  
WARNING: TOAVOID THE HAZARD OFELECTRICALSHOCK, DISCONTINUE  
ELECTRICALSUPPLYTOTHE DRYER.

1. Remove lint from around basket (tumbler), drive motors, and surrounding areas.  
2. Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.  
3. Clean any lint accumulation in and around both the blower and drive motor casing openings.  
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching ignitor/flame-probe assembly.  
EVERY 6 MONTHS  
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal  
exhaust ducting.  
NOTE: THEACCUMULATION OFLINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
NOTE: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTIONAND VENTILATIONAIR.  
CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE EXHAUST  
DUCTWORK. INSPECTAND REMOVEANYLINTACCUMULATION, WHICH  
CAN CAUSE THE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.  
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of  
heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.  
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. Aproduct intended for the  
cleaning of appliances is recommended.  
B. ADJUSTMENTS  
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER  
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff  
valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be  
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete  
operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner and hi-limit  
thermostats).  
C. LUBRICATION  
The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently  
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though  
this practice is not necessary. Use ShellAlvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used in  
the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease  
fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit P/N 882159 (includes two [2] fittings).

2. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (Type I)  
Theory of Operation:  
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the  
chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects  
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas  
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will  
“LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of  
the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be  
repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two  
[2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the  
third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module  
will “LOCKOUT” (light emitting diode [L.E.D.] diagnostic  
indicator flashes).  
A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.  
No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.  
3. For Models with DSI Module (Type II)  
Theory of Operation:  
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the  
chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects  
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas  
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will  
“LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of  
the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be  
repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two  
[2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the  
third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module  
will “LOCKOUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will flash).  
An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.  
A lit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that ALL interlocks  
have been satisfied.

SENSORACTIVATED  
FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM  
S.A.F.E. System In Action  
The exclusive SensorActivated 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 LOCALCODESAND 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.  
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owners responsibility to see that the necessary or required  
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. Manufacturer  
assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed, or  
maintained properly.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Requirements  
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 WILLVOIDWARRANTY.  
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 set should not be reused.

2. 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.  
NOTE: The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw thread. It is not to be confused with  
3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer opposed to the  
mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread designs are not compatible.  
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard  
plumbing connections WILLVOID WARRANTY. It is recommended that a filter  
or strainer be installed in the water supply line.

OPTIONALMANUALBYPASS  
Provisions are made in the dryer S.A.F.E. system for the installation of an optional manual bypass. Depending on  
the model dryer, the connections for the manual bypass are made at the “T” or “three way” fitting located in the  
outlet supply side of the water solenoid valve. The use and connections of this manual bypass are at the option  
or discretion of the owner.  
The water connection for the manual bypass is made to the “T” or “three way” fitting, which has a 3/8” F.P.T.  
and a coupling must be used to provide the minimum 1/2” supply (feed) line.  
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!!  
The manual ball cock shutoff valve must be located outside of the dryer at a distance from the dryer where it is  
easily accessible.  
3. Electrical Requirements  
No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the  
S.A.F.E. system is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls).  
WARNING: Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at ALL times. If the main electrical  
power supply to the dryer is disconnected, the S.A.F.E. system is INOPERATIVE!!

S.A.F.E. System Theory of Operation  
While the dryer is in an idle state, or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the  
thermistor probe, located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber, and records the minimum temperature. If the  
minimum recorded thermistor probe temperature is greater than 120° F (48° C) and the control detects a 50° rise  
in temperature, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate.  
While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the  
exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the  
control detects an exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E.  
system routine will activate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C), the trip point will be 185° F (85° C).  
Once the S.A.F.E. system routine is activated, the control will display “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM ACTIVATED” and  
water will be injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Any time water is being injected into the basket  
(tumbler), the basket (tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue  
for a minimum of 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes have elapsed, the control will check if the temperature remained  
above trip point; if so, the water will remain on. The control will continue to check if the temperature is above trip  
point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the water will be turned off,  
regardless of the temperature, and the control will display “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED.” If the  
temperature has dropped below trip point, the control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.  
SYSTEM RESET  
After the microprocessor determines that the situation is under control and shuts the water being injected into the  
basket (tumbler) off, the microprocessor display will read “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WASACTIVATED,” and the horn/  
tone will sound until reset manually.  
NON-COIN – To reset the microprocessor once the control displays “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED,”  
press the red “STOP/CLEAR” key on the keyboard (touch pad).  
COIN – To reset the microprocessor once the control displays “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED,” press  
and hold the red “PAUSE” key for 3-seconds on the keyboard (touch pad).

S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WATER VALVE CHECK  
The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to ensure that the water supply system and valve are  
functional. Before attempting a system check, be sure that ALL water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in the  
OPEN position; the dryer must be in the “READY” mode with no cycle loaded or in progress.  
NON-COIN  
1. Press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” key (while in “READY” mode and no cycle is in progress).  
2. Press and hold the “A” key.  
3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.  
The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user to perform a S.A.F.E. system  
valve check at every 4000 hours to ensure proper functionality. At the 4000 hour mark, the control will wait for  
end of the cycle and then will prompt the user to “PLEASE EMPTY TUMBLER, THEN PRESS THE  
‘STOP/CLEAR’ AND ‘AKEYS TO TEST THE WATER VALVE.” When the ‘STOP/CLEAR’ and ‘Akeys  
are pressed, the control will activate the S.A.F.E. system water valve for 2-seconds, at which point the control  
will prompt the user with the following message: “IF WATER DID NOT TURN ON, CALL FOR SERVICE.  
THANK YOU.”  
NOTE: The control will not let the user continue until the valve test has been completed.  
COIN  
While the control is in the program mode, press and hold the “PAUSE” key for 3-seconds to get into the valve test  
mode. Valve test mode: The control will display “PRESSAND HOLD MEDIUM TO OPEN WATER VALVE”.  
When the medium key is pressed, the control will activate the water output.  
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM Diagnostics  
NON-COIN – In the event that the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the  
S.A.F.E. system, the control will display the message “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED…READY. To find out  
why the S.A.F.E. system is disabling, press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” and green “START” keys. This  
will cause the control to display a diagnostic message, as detailed in the “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM Diagnostics Messages”  
section.  
COIN – In the event that the Phase 7 microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the S.A.F.E.  
system, the control will display the message “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED…READY, INSERT XX TO  
START.” To find out the reason for the S.A.F.E. system disabling, press and hold the red “PAUSE” and  
“LOW” keys. This will cause the control to display a diagnostic message, as detailed in the following section.

connected or is damaged. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will immediately enter  
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.  
SHORTED THERMISTOR PROBE – This message indicates that the S.A.F.E. system thermistor probe is  
damaged or the wiring is shorted. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will immediately enter  
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.  
DISCONNECTED WATER VALVE – This message indicates that the water valve is open or that it is not  
connected to the control. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the  
condition for a period of 5 minutes before entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is  
corrected, the control will continue to monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM  
DISABLED mode.  
SHORTED WATER VALVE – This message indicates that the water valve is shorted or that the wiring to the  
valve is shorted. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the condition  
for a period of 5 minutes before entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is corrected,  
the control will continue to monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED  
mode.  
WATER NOT CONNECTED – This indicates that there is no water pressure at the water valve. This will occur  
if water is not connected to the dryer, or if there is low water pressure in the water line coming to the dryer. This  
could also signify a defective pressure switch or defective wiring to the pressure switch. If this condition is  
detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the condition for a period of 5 minutes before  
entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is corrected, the control will continue to  
monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.
