SECTION VI
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 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 air flow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC
dryer will provide may 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: REMOVE POWER FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE IN THE MACHINE (cleaning the lint drawers and both steam coil
lint screens are the only exceptions).
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day.
CLEAN LINT FROM LINT DRAWER/SCREEN EVERY THIRD or FOURTH LOAD.
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can best be determined from experience at each
location.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor
bracket) area.
WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.
