American Dryer Corp. MLG-45PDB - Manual (Page 14)

Part No. 113489 (W10185535) 5 - 09/18/08 - 30
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third or Fourth Load
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint
screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/
drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.
Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer first pull the
screen out roughly half way and lift the clip on the lower left
side of the lint drawer up. Now you will be able to pull the
lint drawer completely out.
IMPORTANT: 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 area.
90 Days
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush
or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing
opening.
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: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the exhaust
ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which
can cause the damper to bind or stick.
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can
result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety
switches or thermostats.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 12 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding
connections and nonpermanent gas connections (unions,
shutoff valves, and orifices). Belts should be examined.
Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced.
Complete an operational check of controls and valves.
Complete an operational check of all safety devices (lint door/
drawer switch, door switches, sail switch, and hi-limit
thermostats).
