SECTION VI
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. CLEANING
A program 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 deter-
mined 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, 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.
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.
Clean the lint drawer or screen every third or fourth load.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.
