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 flamma-
ble 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: ace-
tone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liq-
uid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpen-
tine, 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 pro-
duce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-
ed, remove the door to the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in published user-repair instructions that you under-
stand and have the skills to carry out.
9.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate stat-
ic unless recommended for dryer use by the manufactur-
er of the fabric softener or pr
oduct.
10. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
1
1.
Keep the area around the exhaust opening and sur-
rounding areas free from lint accumulation, dust and
dirt.
12. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
13. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug
the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not ground-
ed adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes. See installation instructions for grounding this
appliance.
14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.

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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not place into your dryer items that have been
spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking
oil. Even after being washed, these items may con-
tain significant amounts of these oils. The remain-
ing oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous ignition increases when the items
containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer,
can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reac-
tion in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If
this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing
these kinds of items may prevent heat from escap-
ing and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain veg-
etable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra deter-
gent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the haz-
ard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these
items to reduce the items’ temperatur
e. Never
remove these items fr
om the clothes dryer hot or
interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run
through the “cool down” cycle. Never pile or stack
these items when they are hot.

Step 1
Step 2
Select Cycle
To select a cycle, push in and rotate the control dial to
the desired setting. When using an Auto Dry cycle, the
control dial should be set on “Normal Dry” for most
loads.
Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the “More
Dry” setting to completely dry the load. The “Less
Dry” setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for
leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the
cycle.
Step 3
Special Options
Damp Dry is located on the Time Dry/Air Fluff section
of the dial. It is designed to partially dry items and can
be used with any temperatur
e selection.
Damp Dry
will pr
ovide 20 minutes of tumbling time, followed by
5 minutes of cool-down tumbling.
Wrinkle Release will release wrinkles from items that are
clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled, such as fr
om a
crowded closet or suitcase, or from sitting in the dryer
too long after the cycle has ended.
Wrinkle Release pro-
vides 10 minutes of tumbling followed by five minutes
of cool-down tumbling and can be used with any tem
-
peratur
e selection.

Regular Auto Dry
The Regular Auto Dry cycle is designed
to dry loads such as towels, underwear,
t-shirts, jeans, etc.

Permanent Press Auto Dry
The Permanent Press Auto Dry cycle is
designed to dry wrinkle free cottons,
synthetic fabrics, double knits and
permanent press fabrics automatically.
It minimizes wrinkling by providing
an unheated cool-down period at the
end of the cycle.
Time Dry/Air Fluff
This cycle can be used to regu-
late the drying time. Use with
Air Fluff, Delicate, Medium or
Regular temperature settings.
For timed drying, turn the con-
trol dial until the pointer points
to the proper time setting in the
Time Dry/Air Fluff cycle.
Control features vary by model.
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• T
o operate more energy efficiently.
Operating Tips
Load the Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will
dry dif
ferently. 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 ef
ficiency
.
• 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 r
eposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub-
stances.
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 appli-
ance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum per-
formance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned
more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to
the Installation Instructions for more information.)

Dryer Exhaust Tips
Do
Read the installation instructions
and the user’s guide.
Do
Let your
dryer
exhaust the
air easily.
Do
Use 4 inch diameter
rigid metal duct. Tape all joints,
including at the dryer. Never use
lint-trapping screws.
Do
Keep duct r
uns
as straight as
possible.
Do
Clean all old ducts
before installing your new
dryer. Be sure vent flap opens
and closes freely. Inspect and clean
the exhaust system annually.
Don’t
Allow
cr
ushed or
clogged ducts
and vent.
Don’t
Use longer
than necessary
duct r
uns with
many elbows.
Don’t
Use plastic,
thin foil, or
non-metal
flexible duct.
Don’t
Restrict your dryer with
a poor exhaust system.
Don’t
Let a poor exhaust system cause
slow drying.

Before You Call
For further assistance contact Maytag Appliances Sales Company, Maytag Customer Assistance:
U.S. 1-800-688-9900 or Canada 1-800-688-2002
U.S. customers using TTY for deaf, hearing impair
ed or speech impair
ed, call 1-800-688-2080.
Check the following if your clothes dryer...
Doesn’t Run
• Be sure the door is shut.
• Is the electrical cord plugged in?
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Restart the dryer if the door was opened during the cycle.
Doesn’t Heat
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• 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.
Doesn’t Dry Properly
• Check all of the above, plus . . .
• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, does it open and close freely?
• Check exhaust system for lint build-up. 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.
Is Noisy
• 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.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.
• 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.
Control Knob Advances Slowly
• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry 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.
Dries Unevenly
• 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 fr
om painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the sur-
rounding 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 com-
pletely before using the dryer.
