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.
90 DAYS Inspect and tighten ALL set screws (i.e.; pulleys, idler bearings,
tumbler bearings).
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 On gas and electric models remove lint from gas burner area with a
dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
On steam dryers, clean the coil. Proper cleaning of steam coils is
necessary to prevent lint build-up between the fins. When cleaning the
coil, be extremely careful not to bend the aluminum fins, which will
also reduce airflow. If the fins are bent, straighten them by using a
comb. Fin combs are available from local air conditioning supply
houses. Regular cleaning will prevent lint build-up and blockage of
the coil.
