Maytag Gas Dryer – MDG17MN
SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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 uids.
• 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 nal 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.
• 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 re. Piling,
stacking, or storing oil affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and create a re 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 rst 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 lled with foam rubber
pads should not be dried in the dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should
be used as specied by the fabric softener
instructions.
• Emergency stop control: The mains plug should
be removed in an 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.
