WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

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 contain these flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rub- ber, 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 flam- mable 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 technician.

The exhaust system should be periodically exam- ined for damage to the exhaust duct and for free operation 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 con- taminated 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 & 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 the right to change specifications without notice. For com- plete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your product before selecting cabi- netry, making cutouts or beginning installation.
