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 6 to 8 operational (running) hours per day.
Clean the lint drawer/screen every third or fourth load.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.
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 Daily (beginning of each work shift)
Clean lint from 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 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 air- conditioning supply houses.
90 Days
Remove lint from around 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
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.
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.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which can cause damper to bind or stick.
