Proper installation is the responsibility of the owner.

HOWEVER, SERVICE CALLS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF POOR SETUP,

ADJUSTMENT, AND CONNECTION ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE

INSTALLER.

Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation

1. GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. See Electrical Requirements.

2. POWER CORD for U.S. electric dryers.

3. GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet National and Local Codes.

4. EXHAUST SYSTEM must be rigidmetal or flexible stiff walled metal exJaaustducting.

See Exhaust Requirements.

IMPORTANTTO INSTALLER

PLEASEREAD THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

STARTING TO INSTALL THE DRYER. THESEINSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE

RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

REMOVETHE DOOR FROMALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES SUCH AS DRYERS

TO AVOID THEDANGER OF A CHILD SUFFOCATING.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the dryer, and suf-

ficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust system.

This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or left side use the

accessory exhaust kit (see Accessories). Instructions are included with the kit.

It is important to make sure theroom has adequate make-up air. The area where the dryer is

located must not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air.

On gas dryers,adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to insure

adequate air for combustion and proper operation of the dryer.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN ANAREA WHERE IT

WILL BE EXPOSED TO WEATHER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREAS IS TO

BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS, A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUS-

TIBLE LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF LINT.

ALCOVE ORCLOSET INSTALLATION

WARNING-The

dryer must be ex-

hausted to the

outside to reduce the

risk of fire when

installed in an alcove

OrCloset.

An appliance installed in acloset shall have no other fuel-burning appliance installed in the

same closet.

Each opening area in the door must have a minimum of 36 square inches. These openings

must not be obstructed. (Louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable).

MOBILEHOME INSTALLATION

forMobileHome ConstructionandSafety,Title24HLrlD(Part280),1975fortheUnked

States),orCSA StandardsZ240 (forCanada).

When installingadryerinamobilehome,provisionsforanchoringthedryertothefloor

mustbe made. An anchor bracket kit is available with instructions (see Accessories).

Locate in an area that has adequate makeup air. Aminimum of 25 square inches of unob-

structed opening is required.

All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termi-

nation securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support

combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the mobile home, See the section

on exhausting for more information.

EXHAUSTING

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large mounts of lint and moisture from

being blown into the room.

In the United States:

- all gas dryers must be exhausted to the outside

- electric dryers located in a confined area such as a bedroom,bathroom, or closet must be

exhausted to the outside.

- electric dryers not located in a confined area may be exhausted to the inside (see

nonexhausted installations).

In Canada:

- all gas and electric dryers must be exhausted to the outside. W_RNmG-

sents a potential fire

hazard.

NEVERUSEPLASTIC

NMETALFLEXIBLEDDCT.

If your existing ductwork is p_astic,

nonmetalor combustible, replace

it with metal.Use only metal

exhaust duct thatwill not support

combustion toinsure the contain-

ment of exhaust air heat and lint.

Plastic flexible ductcan klnk,sag,be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times,

and affect dryer operation.

USE A MINIML_OF 4 INCH DIAMETERRIGID ALUMIh_J'M OR RIGID GAL-

VANIZED STEEL DUCT. Do not usesmaller duct. Ductslargerthan 4 inches in

diameter can resultin increased lint accumulation. Lintaccumulation should be cleaned

regularly. If flexiblemetal ductmust beused, use thetype with a stiff sheet metal wall. do

not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if flexiblemetal duct

is bent too sharp. Never install allytype of flexible duct in walls, ceilings or other concealed

places.

Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.Exhaust systems longer than recom-

mended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint. Secure

joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTOANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE ORA

CONCEALED PLACE OFA BUILDING, GAS VENT, ANY OTHERCOMMON

DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE AFIRE HAZARD FROM LINT

EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent

backdrafts and entry of wiIdIife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. The

hood should have a least 12 inches of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the

ground orother obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen

over the exhaust outlet.

When possible, do not exhaust the dryer directlyover a window well in order to avoid lint

build-up. Do not exhaust under a houseor porch.

GAS REQUIREM-ENTS

Use only Natural or LP gases.

THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCALCODES, OR IN THE

ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THENATIONAL FUELGAS CODE

ANSIIZ223.1,LATESTREVISION (FORTHE UNITEDSTATES),OR WITH THE

CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).

Gas dryers are equipped with a burner orifice for operation on NATURAL gas. If the dryer

is tobe operated on LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper per-

formance and must be converted by a qualified service technician, conversion kits from

NATURAL to LP, or LP to NATURAL are available through you local Maytag dealer (see

Accessories). If other conversions are required, check with the local gasutility for specific

information concerning conversion requirements.

A 1/2" gas supplylineis recommended and must be reduced to connect to tile 3/8" gas line

on the dryer.

The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an acceptable, approved manual gas shut off valve

be installed within 6 feet of the dryer.

Additionally, a 1/8" N.P.T (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge

connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supplyconnection to the

dryer,i

The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure test-

ing of the system.

DO NOT re-use old flexible metal gas line. Flexible gas line must be design certified by

American Gas Association (CGA in Canada). NOTE: Any pipe joint compound used must

be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.

NOTE: Asa courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.

GAS IGNITION
