SECTION VII
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 dependant 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 many 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.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day.
DAILY (beginning of every work shift)
Clean lint from basket(s)/tumbler(s)
Inspect lint screen(s)/drawer(s) for damage and replace if torn.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from around microprocessor sensor probes and sensor bracket assemblies.
90 DAYS
Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.
IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict the airflow over the motor(s), causing over heating and
irreparable motor damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation will VOID THE
WARRANTY.
