The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, unless elevation require- ments of over 2,000 feet were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet are made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the Maytag distributor who sold the dryer or contact the Maytag Co. factory.
