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, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient,
trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running)
hours per day.
Clean the lint drawer/screen every third or fourth load.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each
location.
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
Daily (beginning of each work shift)
Clean lint from screen.
Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and
microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket) area.
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.

To avoid the hazard of electrical shock,
discontinue electrical supply to the dryer.

WARNING
!
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.
▲
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. Check back draft dampers in
exhaust ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint
accumulation, which can cause damper to bind or
stick.

WARNING
!
90 Days
Remove lint from around tumbler, drive motors, and
surrounding areas. Remove lint from gas valve burner area
with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching
ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
Remove lint accumulation from inside control box and at the
rear area behind control box.
6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
Drive belts should be examined. Cracked and/or seriously
frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten belts when
necessary.
Steam Dryers
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air
and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
