A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
2. Purchaser and/or user should consult the local gas supplier for proper instructions to be followed in the
event the user smells gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent location.
3. Dryer(s) must be exhausted to the outdoors.
4. Although ADC produces a very versatile dryer, there are some articles that due to fabric composition or
cleaning method should not be dried in it.
WARNING: Dry only water washed fabrics. DO NOT dry articles spotted or washed in dry
cleaning solvents, a combustible detergent, or “all purpose” cleaners. EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT.
WARNING: DO NOT dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint,
or wax. EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
WARNING: DO NOT dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a

similarly textured rubberlike materials. Drying in a heated basket (tumbler) may damage
plastics or rubber and may be a fire hazard.
5. A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area and exhaust
ductwork. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location.

hazard.
