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,
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

LIQUIDS.
NOTE: REMOVE POWER FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE IN THE MACHINE (cleaning the lint drawers and both steam coil lint screens are the only exceptions).
