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 con-
tain these flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber,
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 flammable 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 techni-
cian.
The exhaust system should be periodically examined
for damage to the exhaust duct and for free opera-
tion 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 contam-
inated 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 8, 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
product improvements, Maytag reserves
