Important Safety Instructions
3.
.
5.
.
1. Read a!l instructions before using the dryer. Retain 7.
all instructions for future reference.
Properly install and locate in accordance with the
Installation Instructions.
Install or store dryer where it will NOT be exposed
to the weather.
Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized
power supply circuit. See Electrical Requirements.
o
Have a qualified service technician install your
dryer.
The dryer must be properly grounded - see
Installation Instructions.
Should anyone get an electric shock from the dryer,
disconnect electrical power. DO NOT operate until
it has been repaired by a qualified service techni-
cian.
To prevent injury to children:
Do not allow children to play inside, on, or with the
dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
using the dryer.
When children are mature enough, instruct them in
the safe, correct use of the dryer.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking
the dryer.
Remove the door to the drying compartment before
the dryer is removed from service or discarded.
Do NOT tamper with the operating controls.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
If the drum does not stop moving when the door is
opened, disconnect the electrical power to the
dryer. Do not operate the dryer until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
To prevent personal injury and damage to the
dryer, do not repair or replace any part of the dryer
or attempt any servicing. Servicing should be
referred to a qualified service technician.
Keep pets away from dryer, and keep the dryer
door closed at all times except while loading or
unloading. Pets may enter the dryer unnoticed
when the door is open and become entrapped when
the door is closed.
8. Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so the
dryer never needs to be oiled or greased.
9. Do NOT use fabric softeners or products to elimi-
nate static (unless recommended for use in clothes
dryers by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product).
10. Do NOT dry fiberglass articles unless recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
1 $ Vf Ttf$f I/$T£t( )TI¢IS
Dry only articles which have been washed in water.
Articles which have been cleaned, washed,
soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol,
turpentine, or other flammable or explosive
materials will retain these substances. Do not dry
articles which still contain these flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rub-
ber, plastics, or similarly textured rubberlike
materials.
Keep area around and underneath dryer free from
the accumulation of combustible materials, such
as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
Do not allow the storage of any material to obstruct
the ventilation air openings of the dryer.
To prevent extended drying time and risk of fire,
clean the lint screen after each load.
The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should
be cleaned periodically by a qualified service
technician.
The exhaust system should be periodically exam-
ined for damage to the exhaust duct and for free
operation of the exhaust deflector. Keep the area
around the exhaust opening and surrounding
areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and
dirt.
Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil con-
taminated materials are incompletely washed, a
carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute
to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion)
that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This
would be more likely to happen if the load were
left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if
items were folded and stacked while warm.
For Gas Dryers
Gas dryers are equipped to operate on natural gas
only. To convert a gas dryer for other gases, the
services of a qualified service technician must be
obtained.
Important Safety
Notice &Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (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 businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde, and soot, due primarily to the incomplete com-
bustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.
Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions and
properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.
IMPORTANT: Because of continuing
prod,or improvements, Maytag reserves
the right to change specifications without
notice. For complete details, see the
installation instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, mako

Controls a
SeJect Temperature
In order to select the correct temperature, turn the
temperature control to one of three choices;
Regular, Delicate or Fluff.
DRYER TEMPS LOAD TYPE
Regular Sturdy cottons or labels
marked "Tumble Dry"
Delicate Permanent press, synthetics
and heat sensitive items.
Fluff Items which need freshening.
Load tumbles with room
temperature air.

Setect Press Care
Press care is provided to minimize wrinkles and can
oniy be used with the Permanent Press cycle. This
wrinkle out feature provides 60 minutes of unheated
tumble action at the end of the cycle. Clothes can be
removed anytime during this portion of the cycle.
Select Adjustable
Signal Volume
This control allows for an adjustable signal volume
ranging from off to loud. When the tumbling of laun-
dry has stopped, this control will determine the end of
cycle signal. This signal will inform you when the
clothes are done and need to be removed from the
dryer.
$e|ect Cycle
To select a cycle, rotate the control dial to the desired
setting. When using an auto dry cycle, the control dial
should point between "More Dry" and "Less Dry" for
most loads.
Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the "More
Dry" setting to completely •dry the load. Drying clothes
on the "Less Dry" setting are best suited for lightweight
fabrics or for leaving some moisture in the clothing at
the end of the cycle.
Auto Dry Permanent Press
The auto dry permanent press cycle is designed to dry
all synthetic fabrics, double knits and permanent press
fabrics automatically. At the end of the cycle, the
clothes are cooled to reduce wrinkling for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If additional care is needed for dry-
ing permanent press clothes, using the PRESS CARE
option (see Step 2) will provide less chance for wrin-
kling.

Auto Dry Regular
The auto dry regular cycle is designed to dry most cot-
tons and linens. At the end of the cycle, the clothes are
cooled to reduce wrinkling for approximately 10 min-
utes.
Time Dry/Air Fluff
This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. This
cycle uses either the Fluff, Delicate or Regular temper-
ature control. For timed drying, turn the control dial
clockwise unti! the pointer points to the proper time
setting in the Time Dry/Air Fluff cycle. For heat sensi-
tive items, use the Fluff temperature setting, but this
will require a longer drying time.
Special Options
Damp Dry is located on the Time Dry/Air Fluff section
of the dial. It is designed to partially dry items.
Depending on the temperature selected, it will provide
20 minutes of either heated or non-heated tumbling
followed by 5 minutes of cool-down tumbling.
Wrinkle Release will release wrinkles from items that
are clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled. These
wrLnkles may exist from a crowded closet or suitcase or
from sitting in the dryer too long after the end of the
cycle. It provides 10 minutes of heated or non-heated
tumbling based upon the temperature selected and fin-
ishes with a 5 minute cool-down of no heat tumbling.
Pus_ the Control
_ia| in to Start
Push the control dial in to start the dryer. The dryer
door must be closed for the dryer to start.

Operating Tips
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
o To operate more energy efficient.
Load the
@
®
Dryer Properly
Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will
dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while
heavy clothes may be damp.
Add one or more similar items to the dryer when
only one or two articles need drying. This improves
the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of
some fabrics.
