90 DAYS
Remove lint from around basket (tumbler), drive motors, and surrounding areas.
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint that may have collected in and around the blower motor casing openings.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning or touching ignitor and flame-probe assembly.
Remove lint accumulation from inside the control box and at the rear area behind the control box.
Impellor (fan/blower) shaft bearings should be lubricated using Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent.
Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial with a lithium thickener
and mineral base oil.
6 MONTHS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer-furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK COULD
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN
EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT
ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of
the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinets, avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing 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 switch, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner,
and hi-limit thermostats).
C. LUBRICATION
The motor bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) and idler bearings, are permanently
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though
this practice may not be necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 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.
