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.
!
WARNING
To avoid hazard of electrical shock, discontinue
electrical power supply to the dryer.
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 local air-conditioning supply houses.
90 Days
Remove lint from around tumbler, drive 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 #2 grease 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.
Remove lint accumulation from inside.
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 six to eight 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.

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, the dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble
free, and most importantly, safe operation.
