PERATING TIPS
Sort clothes for drying
Properly dried clothes will need a mini-
mum of care when removed from the
dryer. Clothes properly sorted for washing
should be properly sorted for drying also.
Follow the examples below.
DARK AND LIGHT COLORS: Separate
light clothes from dark clothes.
LINT-SHEDDING FABRICS: Towels, flan-
nels, chenille, cottons, rugs.
LINT-RECEIVING FABRICS: Corduroys,
knits (including socks), permanent press
and synthetics.
HEAVY AND LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS:
Lightweight fabrics dry faster than heavy-
weight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried
together (such as sheets and towels),
remove the lighter weight fabrics when
they are dry to prevent over drying and
wrinkling.
Clean the lint filter
before each use
A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying
and clothes will remain lint-free when
unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the
screen will reduce air flow through the
dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint
screen may be washed if needed.
• Lint filter is located at front of the dryer
in the lower part of door opening.
• Replace lint filer in door recess and
push in firmly. Words on filter should
face front of dryer.
• Add clothes loosely into dryer drum.
Add fabric softener sheet, if desired.
• Close loading door. Dryer will not oper-
ate with the door open.
LINT FILTER
Optional drying rack
Drying rack is useful for drying items that
require no tumble drying, such as tennis
shoes, sweaters, stuffed toys or other del-
icate items. See your Maytag dealer for
details.
IMPORTANT: Lint filter must be in place in
door opening when using dryer or loading
and unloading dryer. If filter is not in place,
clothing could fall into front air duct.
