The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of t986 (Proposition 65) requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or

reproductive harm, and requires businessesto warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Usersof this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some

of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)fuels. Exhaustducts should be kept free of obstructions

and properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.

Appliances with the _ symbol on the data plate

have been listed with Underwriters' Laboratories,

Inc. Those with a CSA Monogram on the data

plate have been certified by the CSA Testing

Laboratories as complying with Canadian

Standards Association requirements. Gas dryers

with an AGA symbol on the data plate have been

design certified with the American Gas

Association; those with a CGA symbol on the

data plate have been approved by the Canadian

Gas Association. Nevertheless, as with any

equipment using electricity and having moving

parts, there are potential hazards. To usethis

appliance safely, the operator should become

familiar with the instructions for operation of the

Appliance and always exercise care when

using it.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

A proper exhaust system is critical for good

drying results. Restricted airflow affects dryer

performance and resultsin longer drying times.

Exhaustdudwork guidelines:

• Use 4" diameter rigid metal exhaust duct. Do

not use smaller duct. Minimize the length of

duct and the number of elbows. Secure joints

with duct tape. Do not use screws.

•Never useplasticor nonmetalflexible duct, This

can kink, cause lint buildup and reduce airflow

which creates service problems.

• If flexible duct must be used, useonly the type

with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not kink or

crush the duct. Do not useflexible duct with a

thin foil wall.

•Clean out previously used exhaust duct.

Replace kinked or crushed sections. Be sure

exhaust vent hood flap opens and closes freely.

• Refer to the installation instructions for

additional dryer exhaust information.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Clean the lint filter after each cycle for greater

efficiency and performance.

•Avoid overloading the dryer. A proper wash

load is a proper dryer load. Do notcombine

loads. Avoid drying very small loads or mixed

loads of heavy, hard-to-dry items with

ligh_eight ones.

• Properly select and check exhaust venting. Four

inch rigid metal ducting is recommended to

prevent lint collection and improve dryer

operation. Periodically check the ductwork for

any obstructions that could reduce the airflow

and efficiency.

• Remove items from the dryer as soon as

tumbling stops for best resultsand efficiency.

Thisreduces wrinkling and ironing.

REVERSING THE DOOR

The dryer door is designed with flexibility in mind.

It can be mounted on the dryer front so as to open

from left to right, or reversed and open from right

to left. This provides flexibility for the dryer located

in a cramped area or for the person preferring a

different door swing. Simpty follow the steps as

listed.

1) Removehinge hole covers and cover from

latch.

2) Restdoor on knee for support.

3) Remove4 screws in hinges.

4) Turndoor upside down.

5) Support on knee.

6) Insert screw in the small round hole first and

start by hand.

7) Tighten screw to position door.

8) Insert top screw of other hinge and tighten.

9) Insertand tighten remaining screws.

10) Replace hinge hole covers and door latch

cover in opposite side.

USING THE DRYER

Check the Lin

Clean the lint filter after each load. It's best to

check thiswhen the dryer isempty to prevent lint

from falling onto items inside the dryer.

Toclean, pull the filter out and remove any lint.

(See illustration below.) Failure to clean the filter

will cause loads to take longer to dry and make

the dryer operate lessefficiently.

Replace the filter by pressing itfirmly into position.

NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint

filter in place.

Load D ÷r

A proper washer load isa proper dryer load. Do

not combine loads. Avoid drying very small loads

or mixed loads of heavy, hard-to-dry itemsand

ligh_eight ones. Normal sized loads dry most

efficiently. (A full load isshown below.)

NOTE: Ifyou are usinga dryer-added fabric

softener,itshouldbe added before

startingthe dryer. Adding one after the

load iswarm can causegreasy-looking

softenerstains.Referto the Maytag

CARING FOR THE DRYER

Connie PaneE Care

Clean the control panel with a soft damp cloth. Do

not useany abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Cabine

Simply wipe off any marks with soap and water,

followed with an appliance wax if desired.

Tumbler

If the tumbler becomes stained by a non-colorfast

fabric dye, new dark blue jeans, a crayon, ink

pen or other item inadvertently left in a garment,

clean the tumbler with an all purpose cleaner

such as: Fantastik,Soft Scrub or Formula 409 _*

Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any

excess stain.

Exhaus Sy$ m ¢lean ng

While the lint filter will catch most of the lintfrom

the load, some will get through and may buildup

in the ductwork. It is important to completely

inspectand clean all lint accumulation from the

interior of the ductwork once a year to maintain

drying performance. The exhaust hood at the

outside of the home should be cleaned more

frequently to ensure the damper opens and closes

freely.

Referto the )nstaltation Instructions for moredetails

on proper exhausting.
