Preventive Maintenance Instructions
DAILY
LINT REMOVAL (SEE FIGURE 42)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not
open the lint panel while the tumbler is in
operation. Open tumbler door and allow
cylinder to completely stop before
cleaning lint screen.
1. Open the lint panel.
2. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment
area. Lightly brush any lint that may be left on the lint
screen. Lint left in the lint compartment is drawn
back onto the lint screen and will restrict proper air
circulation.
3. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is, replace
immediately. A torn lint screen allows lint to pass
from the tumbler to the ductwork system, thus
creating a restriction to air circulation.
