Important Safety Information
WARNING
!
T o avoid risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:
1. Read all instructions before using dryer.
2. Install dryer according to Installation Instructions. Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installation Instructions for proper grounding of the dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. V apors could ignite or explode.
4. Do not use dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause fabric to catch fire by itself.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when dryer is used near children, a safety rule for all appliances.
7. Before dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove doors to drying compartment.
8. Do not reach into dryer if cylinder is revolving.
9. Do not install or store dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
10.Do not tamper with dryer controls.
1 1.Do not repair or replace any part
of dryer or attempt any service, unless specifically recommended in user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out, if you are a consumer.
12.To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or adapters to connect dryer to electrical power source.
13.Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
14.Always disconnect dryer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
15.Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
16.Always clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.
17.Use only fabric softeners or products to eliminate static that are appropriate for automatic dryers.
18.Keep your dryer in good condition. Bumping or dropping dryer can damage safety features. If damage occurs, have dryer checked by qualified service technician.
19.Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
20.Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
21.Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. T o reduce risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep products away from children at all times, preferably , in a locked cabinet.
22.Never operate dryer with guards and/or panels removed.
23.Do not operate dryer with missing or broken parts.
24.Do not bypass safety devices.
25.Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
26.Interior of dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
27.Dryer will not operate with loading door open. DO NOT bypass door safety switch by permitting dryer to operate with door open. Dryer will stop tumbling when door is opened. Do not use dryer if it does not stop tumbling when door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing or turning the ST ART mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.
28.Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
29.AL WAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. St andard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, or the Canadian Electrical Code, and such local regulations as might apply . It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.
WARNING
!
T o avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:
Observe all local codes and ordinances.
• Disconnect electrical power to unit before servicing.
• Ground appliance properly.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure
this appliance is properly grounded.
• DO NOT ground to gas line.
• DO NOT ground to cold water pipe if pipe is
interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets, or other insulating (nonconducting) materials.
• DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not
fit electrical outlet, have proper outlet installed by qualified electrician.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit could result in an electrical shock.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
• DO NOT pinch power cord.
©2006 Maytag Services 16026315 5
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three– slot receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown on the serial plate.
Proper Grounding and Polarization for 120 Volts Wall Outlets
For the safety of our customers and the service techni­cian ALL gas dryers have a three–prong power cord and MUST be connected to a properly polarized and grounded wall outlet. This information was written for those who do not understand grounding and polarization of a wall outlet. A 120 VAC wall outlet must always be wired as shown below.
Neutral side
Round grounding prong
Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be neutral and the small slot must be hot (live).
Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral.
Grounded–This means the round hole connection is connected to ground through a connection to the main power panel.
Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not connected to a ground and/or the main power panel.

SYSTEM
Secure all joints with clamps or duct tape. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fastening means which extend into the duct to attach exhaust pipe joints. They could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system.
IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible.
Be sure old ducts are clean before installing your new dryer.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally).
Weather hood should be installed at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the ground. Higher clearances may be necessary in areas where heavy snowfall can occur.
No extra system length considera­tion is necessary when exhausting through the roof. Use MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH table to calculate system length. Use a roof cap that provides air flow equal to weather hood.
Exhaust Directions
Dryer can be exhausted to the out­doors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust. No kits required.
To exhaust dryer through sides or bottom, install a DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3). Available as optional equip­ment at extra cost.
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter without obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible metal duct is acceptable.
DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor drying perform­ance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard. To identify flexible foil or plastic duct, pinch the coils of the duct between your fin­gers. If the coils can be brought together, do not use the duct.

Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer exhaust MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use plas­tic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches (1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a manome­ter placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the dryer.
For the best exhaust system:
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.
• Use 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• Use duct tape on all joints.
• Use as few elbows as possible.

Checking Burner Flame
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer.
WARNING
To p revent personal injury or property damage, front panel must be in place during normal operation.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting (refer to User’s Guide) The dryer will start, ignitor will glow red, and main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas line, gas ignitor may go off before gas is ignited. If this happens, after approximately two minutes ignitor will again attempt gas ignition.
After the dryer has operated for approximately 5 minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel. Adjust air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A yellow tipped flame indicates lack of air. Aharsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air
lazy,
.)
Adjusting Air Flow to Burner
1. Loosen air shutter lock screw.
2. Turn air shutter to left to get a luminous yellow-tipped flame, turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
