NOTES A-2 16026315 ©2006 Maytag Services
® Installation Instructions Electric Dryer Keep instructions for future reference. Be sure manual stays with dryer.
CONNECT DRYER TO EXHAUST SYSTEM 2 Secure all joints with clamps or duct tape. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fastening means which extend into the duct to attach exhaust pipe joints. They could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible. Be sure old ducts are clean before installing your new dryer. Exhaust System Materials Use Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter without obstructions.
CONNECT ELECTRICAL CORD 3 3-wire or 4-wire Plug Connection • White wire to Neutral terminal. • 4-wire Plug Only—Remove ground screw and detach ground wire from bulkhead. Attach power cord ground (green) wire to rear bulkhead using ground screw. Attach free ground wire, previously attached with ground screw, with white wire to the neutral (center) terminal on the terminal block. Four-wire cord is required for mobile homes or where codes do not permit grounding through neutral. 1.
Important Safety Information About Ground Wires In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.
Installation Requirements Before You Install… Consider Description Location Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation. Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A closet door must have a supply air vent of 80 sq. in. (517 sq. cm) minimum. Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer with a 1⁄4" driver. All four legs must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly distributed. The dryer must not rock.

CONNECT DRYER TO EXHAUST SYSTEM 2 Secure all joints with clamps or duct tape. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fastening means which extend into the duct to attach exhaust pipe joints. They could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible. Be sure old ducts are clean before installing your new dryer.
CONNECT GAS SUPPLY 3 L.P./Propane DO NOT connect dryer to L.P./Propane gas service without converting the gas valve. An LPK1 Sales Accessory L.P./Propane Gas Conversion Kit 649P3 must be installed. Connect gas supply to dryer using a new stainless steel flexible connector or hard pipe (check local codes) according to illustration. Test for leaks and check burner flame after gas supply is connected. See Checking Burner Flame section on back page.
Important Safety Information About Ground Wires Grounding Instructions In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Dryer must be grounded. Dryer is equipped with a cord having a grounding conductor and a 3-prong grounding plug. The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot grounded receptacle rated 110/120V AC (alternating current) 15 Amps.
Installation Requirements Before You Install… Consider Description Location Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation. Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A closet door must have a supply air vent of 80 sq. in. (517 sq. cm) minimum. No other fuel burning appliance should be installed in the same closet with the dryer. Dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Installation Checks and Adjustments Checking Burner Flame To view the burner flame, remove the lower front panel of the dryer. *43" (109,2 cm) *36" (91,4 cm) 7.7" (19,6 cm) 4.0" (10,2 cm) WARNING 15.4" (39,1 cm) 4.0" (10,2 cm) 28" (71,1 cm) 23.5" (59,7 cm) 2.8" 2.3" (7 cm) 26.9" (6 cm) (68,3 cm) .
