USER INSTRUCTIONS
(Original Instructions)
Export Maytag Dryer - MDE20MN and MDG20MN
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Clean lint screen before each use.
2. Sort and load clothes. Dry linen capacity 10.5 kg. IEC capacity 9.0 kg.
3. Close door.
• This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles that have been
washed in water. Do not use for any other purpose.
•
WARNING:
If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any electrical
equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the area. Contact the dryer
owner immediately.
• Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
• Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive or decomposed
chemicals in the load may produce damage to the dryer and harmful
fumes.
• This dryer shall not be used to dry off solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
• This dryer is not designed for drying items that may create an explosive
atmosphere inside the dryer and must not be used for this purpose.
• Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool-down
cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a temperature that ensures
that the items will not be damaged.
•
WARNING:
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle
unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is
dissipated (avoids spontaneous combustion risk).
• In case of electricity supply failure, remove the load quickly and spread
it out to avoid spontaneous combustion risk.
• This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the dryer by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases
into the room from appliances burning fuels, including open fires.
• The fresh-air ventilation openings into the room and into the dryer must
not be blocked or sealed.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing
an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking,
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and create a
fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil
or that have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in
a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers
should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried
in the dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubber-backed articles, and clothes or pillows filled with foam
rubber pads should not be dried in the dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the
fabric softener instructions.
• Emergency stop control: After installation, access to mains plug or
mains supply via a double-pole switch must be maintained at all times
in order to ensure immediate deactivation of the dryer in case of
emergency.
• When loading or re-loading the dryer, avoid touching hot metal parts of
the drum (burn risk).
• If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped textiles, disconnect the dryer
from the electricity supply before gently removing the blockage.
• If the dryer is not heating, or appears to be defective or damaged, do
not use it. Contact the owner.
• Remove all flammable objects, such as lighters and matches, from
pockets of items to be dried in the dryer.
• The dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door,
or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer in such
a way that a full opening of the dryer door is restricted.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
• Clean lint screen before each use.
• The appliance can be used by children age 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision
or instructions concerning safe use of the dryer and understand
the hazards involved.
