Routine Maintenance _________________
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 ductwork 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 a potential fire hazard.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown for average usage, which is considered six to eight operational (running) hours per day.
Clean lint drawer/screen every third or fourth load.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.
