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 build up.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD
Clean the lint basket. A clogged lint basket will cause poor dryer performance. The lint basket is located in the
lint drawer in the base of the dryer. Pull out the lint drawer, brush the lint off the lint basket, and remove the lint.
Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.
WEEKLY
Open the hinged panels on each side of the tumbler section and remove any lint accumulation, from the tumbler
drive motor, drive shafts, V-belts, drive wheels, and drive shaft bearings.
Slide the lint basket
ALL
the way out of the dryer and clean any lint accumulation off of the temperature sensor
bracket, which is located above the lint basket.
