request a dryer warranty form. If the distributor cannot be
contacted or is unknown, warranty information can be

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 airflow. 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.
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 6 to 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 Load
Clean the lint screen every load. A clogged lint screen will
cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/drawer is located
just below the loading door of the dryer. Open the lint door/
drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint.
Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull
drawer out approximately halfway. Next remove the two
retainer clips located on the sides of the lint drawer.
IMPORTANT: 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 area.
!
WARNING
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue
electrical supply to the dryer.
90 Days
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush
or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing
opening.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching
ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
Every 6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
NOTE: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull the
drawer out until it stops. There are two T-20 torx screws on
each side of the lint drawer holding down the lint drawer
catch brackets which must be removed. Once they are
removed the drawer will be able to be pulled completely
out of the machine. To reinstall put the lint drawer back into
the machine, line up the lint drawer catch brackets with the
screws and tighten them down.
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 the exhaust ductwork.
Inspect and remove any lint accumulation, which can
cause the damper to bind or stick.
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can
result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety
switches or thermostats.
If a hi-limit trips due to a high temperature occurrence, you
must disconnect power before resetting. To reset, press
and release the reset button. The hi-limits are located on
the lint box and burner tube.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 12 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections
and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves,
and orifices). Belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously
frayed belts should be replaced. Complete an operational
check of controls and valves. Complete an operational check
of all safety devices (lint door/drawer switch, door switches,
sail switch, and hi-limit thermostats).
