STEAM DRYERS

Clean the steam coil fins. Compressed air and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment are suggested.

NOTE: 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 any local air conditioning supply house.

90 DAYS

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

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

6 MONTHS

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

NOTE: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

NOTE: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.

CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE EXHAUST
DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH
CAN CAUSE THE 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 the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the

cleaning of appliances is recommended.

Check ALL V-belts for tightness and wear. Retighten, realign, or replace V-belt if required.

NOTE: Replace in matched sets (both belts).
