Troubleshooting
Cleaning
The most important cleaning task is to remove accumula-
tions of dust and lint from the radiator fins. An extensive
collection of dust and lint on the cooling fins will interfere
with the efficient dissipation of heat.
When dirt and dust have accumulated on the radiator fin
spaces it should be cleaned.
