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 six (6) to eight (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 screen is
located behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the
lint door, brush the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint.
Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE:
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 (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
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
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.
INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT
ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE
BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
NOTE:
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.
