SECTION II
Routine Maintenance
A. Cleaning
A program and 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 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.
WARNING: 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 (6) to eight (8) operational (running) hours per day.
Clean lint drawer and screen every third load.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.
Daily (beginning) of each work shift.
Clean lint from the drawer and screen. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
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 dryer.
