SECTION III

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

A. CLEANING

A program 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 airflow. 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 APOTENTIALFIRE 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 torn.

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 ELECTRICALSHOCK, DISCONTINUE

ELECTRICALPOWER SUPPLYTO THE DRYER.

STEAM DRYERS

Clean the steam coil fins. Suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.

NOTE: When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If the fins are bent, straighten by using a fin comb, which is available from any local air conditioning supply house.
