OUTINE

AINTENANCE

_________

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 drawer/tray every third or fourth load. A clogged
lint drawer/tray will cause poor dryer performance. The lint
drawer/tray is located on the lower front of the dryer. Inspect
lint screen and replace if torn.

Note

The frequency of cleaning the lint drawer/tray can best

be determined from experience at each location.

Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and
temperature high-limit sensor area.

Warning

To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue

electrical supply to the dryer.

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.

Note

When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh

abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
