Routine Maintenance _________________
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 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.
