ACCESSORIES

Customize your new washer and dryer with the following genuine Maytag accessories. For more information on options and ordering, contact your dealer, or visit: www.maytag.com.

15" Pedestal

Color matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height. The large drawer provides convenient storage. Available in matching colors.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Worksurface

The worksurface bridges the washer and dryer, and provides a convenient working and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Maintain good air ow by:

n

Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n

Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

n

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n

Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air ow.

Good

Better

Good air ow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See “Installation Instructions”.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good air ow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

n

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for nal product check.

n

Clear away items from in front of the dryer.

Use Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

n

Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free nish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.

n

Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n

It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle.

n

The Auto Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of small numbers of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.

n

The Custom Refresh Cycle (on some models) is best for smoothing out wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.
