44SECTION VIROUTINE MAINTENANCEA. CLEANINGA program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lintfrom various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the duct work system. The frequency of cleaningcan best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependentupon proper air circulation. The accumulation of lint can restrict this air flow. If the guidelines in thissection are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble-free, and - most importantlysafe operation.WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THEACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLEMATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS andLIQUIDS.NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight(8) operational (running) hours per day.SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULEEVERY THIRD or FOURTH LOADClean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint screen will cause poor dryerperformance. 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 eachlocation.WEEKLYClean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensorbracket) area.WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUEELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.
