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 airflow. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, the 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 6 to 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 door/ drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer. Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.

Note: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull the drawer out loosen the torx screws on the sides of the rails. This allows the metal clips to rotate and allow the drawer to be fully removed. Reverse the above process for installation.

Important: 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 area.

Warning

!To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue electrical supply to the dryer.

Steam Dryers

Clean the steam coil fins. It is suggested that compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment be used.

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 air- conditioning supply houses.

90 Days

Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing opening.

Note: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching ignitor/flame-probe assembly.

Every 6 Months

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

Note: The accumulation of lint in the exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which can cause the damper to bind or stick.

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.

7 Days After Installation

and Every 12 Months Thereafter

A competent professional should inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Complete an operational check of controls and valves. Complete an operational check of all safety devices (lint door/drawer switch, door switches, sail switch, and hi-limit thermostats).
