1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode. Any
material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in the
dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids
or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in
homes, such as: acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled
latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials must not be dried on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
3. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in
front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children and pets.
/4. Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.

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,
formaldehyde, and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept
free of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will
minimize exposure.
Note: Because of continuing product
improvements, Maytag reserves the right to change
specifications without notice. For complete details,
see the Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts
or beginning installation.

OperutingTips
Clean the Lint Filter
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
i Note: Do not operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
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.
When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Accessories
Optional Drying Rack
Select dryer models are equipped with a drying rack.
The drying rack is useful for drying items that require
no tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters,
stuffed toys or other delicate items.
Note: The Drying Rack, part no. 504105, is
available when not included with your dryer. See
your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 to order.

Care& Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an
all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to
remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once
these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but
should not transfer to subsequent loads.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an
appliance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum
performance. The outside exhaust hood should be
cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

[select models)
Dries Unevenly
Be sure the door is shut.
Check to make sure the electrical cord is plugged in.
Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Push the control dial in again if the door was opened during the cycle.
Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Select a heat setting, not air fluff.
Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.
Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
Dryer timer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.
Check all of the above, plus...
Check the exhaust hood outside the house, make sure it opens and closes freely.
Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
Use rigid 4" metal exhaust duct.
Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even
drying.
Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.
Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.
It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the
drying cycle.
The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.
A clicking noise may be the timer advancing.
It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer
drum and exhaust system.
This is normal operation for an Auto Dry or Sensor cycle, especially at the beginning of
cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of
advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in
the load. As the load becomes more dry, the control knob will advance more quickly.
Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of
the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the More Dry
setting if desired.
If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is
possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has
reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying
results.
Has an Odor Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the
dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the
room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these
odors are present in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.

desire. L'utilisation d'un cycle de Auto Dry [sechage
automatique) signifie que le selecteur doit pointer entre More

charges.
Les plus grosses charges necessitent parfois le reglage
More Dry pour secher completement. II est preferable de
secher le linge au reglage Less Dry Iorsque les tissus sont
plus legers ou que le linge doit rester legerement humide
