Preoperational Test ___________________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation) conditions.
Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Refer to the operating instructions for starting your dryer. Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that all gas shutoff valves are open.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the tumbler to remove this coating.
Microprocessor Programs/Selections
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
Operating Instructions ________________
The dryer is available for use when the appropriate side of the microprocessor display reads “0 minutes” and the amount needed to start the dryer (i.e., “25”). Once the load has been put into the dryer and the main door is closed, start the dryer as follows:
•Insert the proper number of coins into the coin acceptor. Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the display will read “SELECT CYCLE”.
•Determine fabric setting (selection).
Once the fabric temperature setting (selection) has been determined, start the dryer by pressing the fabric setting key.
•The dryer will now start, and the display will read the setting and the time vended.
•The cycle time will count down until the drying and cooling cycles are completed.
•Upon completion of the drying and cooling cycles, the dryer will shut off.
The dryer tumbler can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart dryer, shut the main door and press desired setting.
NOTE: When a cycle is interrupted by opening the main door, cycle time will continue to count downward, regardless if the door is open or closed.
Selection (setting) changes can be made at any time during the drying cycle.
Shutdown Instructions ________________
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed:
Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
Discontinue the fuel supply: close external gas shutoff valve. Also close two internal gas shutoff valves.
Service/Parts Information ____________
Service
Service must be performed by a qualified trained technician, service agency, or gas supplier. If service is required, contact the Maytag distributor from whom the equipment was purchased. If the distributor cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the Maytag Co. for a distributor in your area.
NOTE: When contacting the Maytag Co., be sure to give them the correct model number and serial number so that your inquiry is handled in an expeditious manner.
Parts
Replacement parts should be purchased from the distributor from whom the Maytag equipment was purchased. If the distributor cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the Maytag Co. for a distributor in your area.
NOTE: When ordering replacement parts from the Maytag distributor or the Maytag Co. be sure to give them the correct model number and serial number so that your parts order can be processed in an expeditious manner.
Routine Maintenance _________________
A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location.
Exhaust duct outlet should be checked periodically for blockages, and if any found, removed.
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper airflow. The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running) hours per day.
Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
