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 airflow.
accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running)
hours per day.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third or Fourth Load
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint
screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/
drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.
Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull the
drawer out loosen the TORX
rails. This allows the metal clips to rotate and allow the
drawer to be fully removed. Reverse the above process
for installation.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or
touching ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush
or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s)
casing opening.
Every 6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system and from dryer's internal exhaust
ducting.
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the exhaust
ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation,
which can cause the damper to bind or stick.
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can
result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety
switches or thermostats.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 12 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding
connections and nonpermanent gas connections (unions,
shutoff valves, and orifices). Belts should be examined.
Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced.
Complete an operational check of controls and valves.
Complete an operational check of all safety devices (lint
door/drawer switch, door switches, sail switch, and hi-limit
thermostats).
