SECTION 4
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, a 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.
WARNING: 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.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
AFTER EVERY LOAD
Clean the lint basket. A clogged lint basket will cause poor dryer performance. The lint basket is
located in the lint drawer in the base of the dryer. Pull out the lint drawer, brush the lint off the
lint basket, and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
WEEKLY
Open the hinged panels on each side of the basket (tumbler) section and remove any lint
accumulation.
Slide the lint basket all the way out of the dryer and clean any lint accumulation off the
temperature sensor bracket, which is located above the lint basket.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.
