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 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.
SUGGESTED INTERVAL FUNCTION
DAILY Clean Lint screen. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
90 DAYS Remove lint accumulation from lint chamber thermostats and
sensors.
WARNING: To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue electrical supply to dryer.
90 DAYS Remove lint from the motor air vents and surrounding area.
IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict internal motor air flow, causing overheating and
irreparable damage. Motor failure due to lint accumulation WILL VOID THE
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
120 DAYS Remove lint from gas burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner
attachment.
6 MONTHS Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer-furnished
exhaust duct work system. Inspect exhaust back draft dampers to
insure they are not binding. Inspect and remove ALL lint
accumulation from in and around control box area, including coin
acceptors. Clean lint accumulation from around tumbler wrapper
area.
WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
