American Dryer Corp. ADG-385 User Manual

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 duct work 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.

WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE

ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
