Important Safety Notice & Warning

your purchase of a Maytag dryer!

Your complete satisfaction is very important to us. For best results, we

suggest reading this material to help acquaint you with proper operating and maintenance procedures.

The California Sate 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 cus-

tomers of potential exposures to such substances.

Should you need assistance in the future, it is helpful to:

1) Have complete model and serial number identifica- tion of your dryer. This is located on a data plate in the lower center of the door opening.

2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: rounding areas tree from lint accumulation, dust and

a. Do not dry items that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which

is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many high- ly flammable items used in homes, such as: ace-

tone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers_ turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b. Items containing tbam rubber (may be labeled

latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials when heated, can under

certain circumstances produce fire by sponta- neous combustion.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the

appliance is used near children.

4. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis- carded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is mov- ing.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recom- mended in published user-repair instructions that

you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

dirt.

12. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

13. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never

plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is

not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instruc-

tions for grounding this appliance.

14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.

__k WARNING _ Do not place into your

dryer items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil.

Even after being washed, these items may

contain significant amounts of these oils. The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous ignition

increases when the items containing veg- etable oil or cooking oil are exposed to

heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes

dryer, can warm these items, allowing an

oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.

Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot

escape, the items can become hot enough

to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from

escaping and can create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that con- tain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dan-

gerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but will

not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the "cool down" cycle for these items to

reduce the items' temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer

hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the "cool down"

cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.
