MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONT.
I
WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or death.
–
–
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
WHATTO DO IFYOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
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 vegetable 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 contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.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.

PERATING TIPS
O
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
•
•
•
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
• By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• Avoid very small loads or mixing heavyweight and lightweight clothes.
• When only one or two articles need drying, add a few similar items to
improve tumbling and drying efficiency.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or comforter, it may
be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure even
drying.
ADD A FABRIC SOFTENER SHEET (IF DESIRED)
• After loading the dryer.
• To control static cling.
• Before the load becomes warm. This helps prevent greasy-looking
softener stains.
• And remove any used softener sheets from the dryer to prevent
greasy-looking softener stains.

PECIAL LAUNDRY TIPS
S
Please follow the care label or manufacturer’s instructions for drying special items. If care label instructions are not
available, use the following information as a guide.
• Follow the care label instructions or dry using the Sensor Dry cycle.
• Be sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
• May require repositioning to ensure even drying.
Bedspreads & Comforters
Blankets
• Dry only one blanket at a time for best tumbling action.
• Be sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
• Use Sensor Dry cycle and the extra low temperature setting to help minimize
wrinkling.
Curtains & Draperies
• Dry these in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.
• Use Sensor Dry and the regular temperature setting for soft, fluffy diapers.
• Use Sensor Dry and the extra low temperature setting.
• Place a clean pair of sneakers in the dryer with the item to fluff the down
comforters, etc. Adding a couple of dry towels shortens dry time and
absorbs moisture.
Cloth Diapers
Down–filled Items
(jackets, sleeping bags, com-
forters, etc.)
• DO NOT dry on a heat setting. Use Air Fluff option (no-heat).
• WARNING – Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or be a fire
hazard.
Foam Rubber
(rug backs, stuffed toys, shoulder
pads, etc.)
• Use Sensor Dry.
• Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the tum-
bling action and to fluff the item.
Pillows
• DO NOT dryer-dry kapok or foam pillows.
Plastics
(shower curtains, outdoor
furniture covers, etc.)
• Use Air Fluff or Time Dry and the extra low temperature setting depending on
the care label instructions.
AVOID DRYER DRYING

•
Fiberglass Items (curtains, draperies, etc.)
Woolens, unless recommended on the label.
Vegetable or cooking oil soaked items. (See pg.2)

EFORE YOU CALL
B
CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR MAYTAG NEPTUNE® DRYER...
• Be sure the door is latched shut.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
Doesn’t Run
• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.
Doesn’t Heat
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.
• Check all of the above, plus...
• Be sure the exhaust hood at the outside of the home can open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint build-up. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
Doesn’t Dry
• Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.
• Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying
cycle.
Is Noisy
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation manual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum
and exhaust system.
• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load
has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the “Very Dry” setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that
the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dry-
ness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Dries Unevenly
Has an Odor
• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with
the surrounding room air.This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls
it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside.When these odors are present in the air,
ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
