A good user manual
The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of American Dryer Corp. AD-200, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.
What is an instruction?
The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of American Dryer Corp. AD-200 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.
Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of American Dryer Corp. AD-200. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.
What should a perfect user manual contain?
First and foremost, an user manual of American Dryer Corp. AD-200 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of American Dryer Corp. AD-200
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the American Dryer Corp. AD-200 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the American Dryer Corp. AD-200 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards
Why don't we read the manuals?
Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of American Dryer Corp. AD-200 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of American Dryer Corp. AD-200, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the American Dryer Corp. service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of American Dryer Corp. AD-200.
Why one should read the manuals?
It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the American Dryer Corp. AD-200 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.
After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

73 7. Cycle Done Circuit: Theory of the "CYCLE DONE" Circuit: When the dryer has come to the end of the drying/cooling cycle of the dryer the air jet spade terminal on the microprocessor will be energized with 24 A/C volts. This 24 A/C volts will then be present across the coil of the air jet sensor relay . The relay closes and the 24 vol[...]

75 1. Blower Motor Circuit Indicator - indicator dot is on whenever a cycle is in progress. 2. Heat Controller Indicator - indicator dot is on whenever the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller is calling for the heating circuit to be active (on). 3. Reversing Indicator - indicator dot is on when the drive basket (tumbler) motor is operating in the[...]

76 2. " MTR " Output LED Indicator - If the dryer is started and the motor is not operating, yet both the microprocessor controller display motor indicator dot and the "dOOr" input LED indicator are on, but the motor output LED indicator is off, then the fault is in the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller itself. If the motor [...]

77 5. " DOOR " LED Indicator - The indicator should be on all the time (even if the dryer is not returning) unless the main door or lint drawer is open or there is a problem (open circuit in the main door or lint drawer circuit). NOTE: If the dryer is started (LED display indicator dots are on) and there are no outputs (heat or motor outp[...]
