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 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: The 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.
90 DAYS
Remove lint from around tumbler, motors, and surrounding areas. Remove lint from the gas valve burner area with a
dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Impellor (fan/blower) shaft bearings should be lubricated using Shell Alvania grease NLGI 2 or its equivalent. Generically,
this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral
base oil.
Check to make sure that the setscrews on the impellor/fan shaft bearings are tight.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching the Direct Spark Ignitor.
