SECTION II

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

A. 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.

IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.

SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE

DAILY

Clean lint from the lint screen. Inspect and replace if torn.

90 DAYS

Remove lint accumulation from lint chamber thermostats and sensors. Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.

WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict internal motor airflow, causing overheating and irreparable motor damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation will VOID THE WARRANTY.

120 DAYS

On gas and electric models, remove lint from gas burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. On steam dryers, clean coil. Proper cleaning of the steam coil is necessary to prevent lint build up between the fins. When cleaning the coil, be extremely careful not to bend the aluminum fins, which will also reduce airflow. If the fins are bent, straighten them by using a comb. Fin combs are available from local air conditioning supply houses. Regular cleaning will prevent lint build up and blockage of the coil.
