SECTION VI
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
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, the 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:
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 screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint
screen is located behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the lint door, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE:
The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best be determined from experience at each
location.
WEEKLY
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)
area.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER
.
