STEAM DRYERS
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
WARNING: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten
by using a fin comb, which is available from local air conditioning supply houses.
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 grease NLGI 2 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 CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL 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.
