DRYER SAFETY DRYER SAFETY
The design of this dryer has been approved for uses at
■
altitudes up to 3,048 m (10,000 feet) above sea level
at the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial plate.
Burner input adjustments are not required when the dryer
is operated up to this elevation. For installing this product
above 3048 m (10,000 ft), contact your local maytag or
similarly qualified service company.
Emergency stop control: After installation, access to
■
mains plug (gas dryer) or mains supply (electric dryer)
via a double-pole switch must be maintained at all times
in order to ensure immediate deactivation of the dryer in
case of emergency.
The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should
■
be cleaned periodically by Whirlpool authorized service
personnel.
See "Electrical Requirements" section for earthing
■
instructions.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the
■
back-flow of gases into the room from appliances burning
fuels, including open fires.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
■
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumbler 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 so create a fire hazard.
See DIMENSIONS/CLEARANCES section for minimum
■
installation spacing requirements.
This dryer is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug.
■
Means for disconnection from the supply mains having
a contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions
must be provided, otherwise means for disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
