SECTION VI
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. CLEANING
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from
various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the duct work system. The frequency of cleaning
can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent
upon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this air flow. If the guidelines in this
section are met, an ADC dryer will provide may years of efficient, trouble-free, and - most importantly -
safe operation.
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS and
LIQUIDS.
NOTE:
Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight
(8) operational (running) hours per day.
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 screen is located behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the lint door, brush the lint off of the
lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect the lint screen and replace if tom.
NOTE:
The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can best be determined from experience at
each location.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor
(sensor bracket) area.
WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.
