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 are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8) operational (running) hours per day.
IMPORTANT:
Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
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 the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE:
!The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best be determined from experience at each location.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket) area.
WARNING:
!TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.
STEAM DRYERS
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
WARNING:
!When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by using a fin comb, which is available from local
90 DAYS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.
WARNING:
!THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE:
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.
