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 air conditioning supply houses.

90 DAYS

Remove lint from around basket (tumbler), drive motors, and surrounding areas. Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

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

Remove lint accumulation from inside control box and at the rear area behind control box.

6 MONTHS

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

Impellor (fan/blower) belts and drive belts should be examined. Cracked and/or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten belts when necessary.

WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFTED DAMPERS IN EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

NOTE: When cleaning dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.
