gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled

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,
formaldehyde, and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept
free of obstructions arid properly exhausted dryers will
minimize exposure.
Note: Because of continuing product
improvements, Maytag reserves the right to change
specifications without notice. For corr_plete details,
see the Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts
or beginning installation.

Select Signal
End of Cycle Signal
When the cycle is corr_plete, a signal will sound several
times. On select models the End of Cycle Signal
volume is adjustable. To adjust the volume, select any
setting between OFF and HIGH.
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.
Regular Fabrics
The Regular cycle is designed to dry most cottons and
linens. At the end of the cycle, the clothes are cooled
to reduce wrinkling.
Wrinkle-Free Fabrics
The Wrinkle-Free Fabrics cycle is designed to dry
wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, double knits and
permanent press fabrics automatically.
Wrinkle Out (select models) is provided to minimize
wrinkles in the Wrinkle-Free Fabrics cycle. This feature
provides an extra 60 minutes of unheated tumble
action at the end of the cycle. Clothes can be removed
any time during this portion of the cycle. The additional
60 minutes can be cancelled by setting the knob to
OFF.

This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. Use
with Air Fluff, Low, Medium (select models) or Regular
temperature settings. For timed drying, turn the control
dial until the pointer points to the proper time setting
in the Timed Dry cycle.
Note: Using the Air Fluff temperature setting will
require a longer drying time.
Special Options (select models)
Damp Dry is located on the Timed Dry section of the
dial. It is designed to partially dry items and can be
used with any temperature selection. Damp Dry will
provide 20 minutes of tumbling time, followed by
10 minutes of cool-down tumbling.
Touch Up will release wrinkles from items that are
clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled, such as from a
crowded closet or suitcase, or from sitting in the dryer
too long after the cycle has ended. Touch Up provides
10 minutes of tumbling followed by 10 minutes of cool-
down tumbling and can be used with any temperature
selection.
Push the Control Dial in
to Start
Push the control dial in to start the dryer. The dryer
door must be closed for the dryer to start.
Note: The dial can be turned in either direction to
select a cycle. Once started, the dial will not
advance at a specific rate during the Auto
Dry/Sensor Dry cycles. At first the dial may not
advance at all. Toward the end of the cycle (when
the load begins to dry), the dial will advance at a
more regular rate and much more quickly. This is
normal operation.
Opermin9Tips
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
Note: Do not operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
Load the Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry
differently. 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 irr_proves the
tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• 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
corrfforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Accessories
Optional Drying Rack
Select dryer models are equipped with a drying rack.
The drying rack is useful for drying items that require
no tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters,
stuffed toys or other delicate items.
Note: The Drying Rack, part no. 504105, is
available when not included with your dryer. See
your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 to order.

Care& Cleanin9
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances.
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
appliance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum
performance. The outside exhaust hood should be
cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.
(Refer to the Installation Instructions for more
information.)

Check all of the above, plus...
• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, make sure it opens and closes freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use rigid 4" metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. ] wash load = ] 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry or Sensor cycle, especially at the beginning of
cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of
advancemerlt 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.

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 completely before using the dryer.
