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, a JLA 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.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Note
Remove power from the dryer before performing
any maintenance in the dryer (cleaning the lint
drawers and both steam coil lint screens are the only
exceptions).
Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage,
which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running) hours per
day.
Important
Dryer produces combustible lint and must be
exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months,
inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
Clean lint from lint drawer/screen every third or fourth load.
Note
The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can
best be determined from experience at each
location.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat,
and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)
area.
Warning
To avoid hazard of electrical shock, discontinue
electrical power supply to the dryer.
Steam Dryers
Clean the steam coil fins. Suggest using compressed air
and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
Note
When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to
bend the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by using
a fin comb, which is available from any local
air-conditioning supply house.

Warranty Information _________________
Returning Warranty Cards
Before any dryer leaves the factory test area, a warranty card
is placed on the back side of the main door glass. These
warranty cards are intended to serve the customer where we
record the individual installation date and warranty information
to better serve you should you file a warranty claim. If a
warranty card did not come with your dryer, contact the
Warranty Department.
Important
A separate warranty card must be completed and
returned for each individual dryer.
