Routine Maintenance; Data Label Information - ADC SL20 Installation Manual

R M
OUTINE AINTENANCE
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.
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
Dryer produces combustible lint and must be
!
exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect
the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule _________
Every Third Or Fourth Load
Clean the lint drawer/tray every third or fourth load. A clogged
lint drawer/tray will cause poor dryer performance. The lint
drawer/tray is located on the lower front of the dryer. Inspect
lint screen and replace if torn.
Note
The frequency of cleaning the lint drawer/tray can best
!
be determined from experience at each location.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and
temperature high-limit sensor area.
Warning
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue
!
electrical supply to the dryer.
90 Days
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system from dryer's internal exhaust
ducting.
Warning
The accumulation of lint in the exhaust ductwork can
!
create a potential fire hazard.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
Note
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
!
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.

ATA ABEL NFORMATION
The model number is an ADC number, which describes the size
of the dryer and the type of heat (gas, electric, or steam).
The serial number allows ADC to gather information on your
particular dryer.
The manufacturing code number is a number issued by ADC,
which describes all possible options on your particular model.
This describes the type of heat for your particular dryer: gas
(either natural gas or liquid propane [L.P.] gas), electric, or
steam.
This describes the heat input in British Thermal Units per Hour
(Btu/hr).
Gives the number drill size used.
This describes the electric service for your particular model.
This describes the manifold pressure taken at the gas valve tap.
