8 Maytag Co. 113249-2
Dryer Enclosure Requirements ______
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of non-
ombustible material.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control
door.
A The requirement to allow the door to open ompletely
is 33-in hes (83.8 m).
B A minimum overhead learan e of 6-in hes (15.24 m)
is required.
C Dryer should be positioned a minimum of 12-in hes
(30.48 m) away from the nearest obstru tion.
24-in hes (60.96 m) is re ommended for ease of
installation, maintenan e, and servi e.
D 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum is required.
E Flooring should be level or below dryer abinet for ease
of removing panels during maintenan e.
F Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however
a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowan e must be
made for the opening and losing of the ontrol door,
along with the removal of panels during maintenan e.
Fresh Air Supply Requirements ______
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it,
passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of
the building. Therefore, the room air must be ontinually
replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is
inadequate, drying time and drying effi ien y will be
adversely affe ted. Ignition problems and sail swit h
“fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor
failure from overheating. The dryer must be installed with
provisions for adequate ombustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given areful onsideration
to ensure proper performan e of ea h dryer. Fresh air
ventilation openings shall not be blo ked and/or sealed. As
a general rule, an unrestri ted air entran e from the outdoors
of 128 in h2 (826 m2) is required for ea h dryer. (Based on
1 in h2 [6.5 m2] per 1,000 Btu [252 k al].)
It is not ne essary to have a separate make-up air opening
for ea h dryer. Common make-up air openings are
a eptable. However, they must be set up in su h a manner
that the make-up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.
A = 16-inches (40.64 cm) B = 16-inches (40.64 cm)
EXAMPLE: For a bank of 4 dryers, 2 unrestri ted openings
measuring 16-in hes by 16-in hes (40.64 m by 40.64 m)
are a eptable.
To ompensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be in reased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be lo ated in an
area dire tly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowan es must be made for remote or onstri ting
passageways or where dryers are lo ated at high altitudes
or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be free of dry cleaning
solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry
cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage
to the motors and other dryer components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.
Exhaust Requirements _______________
Exhaust du twork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized du twork will reate
ex essive ba k pressure, whi h results in slow drying,
in reased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) swit h, burner hi-limits, or lint hamber hi-limit
prote tor thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a
proper exhaust du t onne tion to the outside.
As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust du ts for
type 2 lothes dryers shall be onstru ted of sheet metal or
other non ombustible material. Su h du ts shall be
equivalent in strength and orrosion resistan e to du ts
made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge
(0.0195-in hes [0.50 mm]) thi k.”

113249-2 Maytag Co. 9
NOTE 1 Opening from ombustible materials must be 2-in hes (5.08 m)
larger than the du t (all the way around). The du t must be entered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distan e should be 2 times the diameter of the du t to the nearest
obstru tion.
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-
sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust du ts for
ea h dryer, du ts from individual dryers may be hanneled
into a “ ommon main du t.” The individual du ts should
enter the bottom or side of the main du t at an angle not
more than 45º in the dire tion of airflow. The main du t
should be tapered, with the diameter in reasing before ea h
individual du t is added. The minimum diameter of the
individual du twork must be at least 8-in hes (20.32 m).
IMPORTANT: No more than four dryers should be
connected to one main common duct.
A = 12 feet (3.66 meters)
B = 8-inches (20.32 cm)
!WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a lastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
The du twork should be laid out in su h a way that the
du twork travels as dire tly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. There should be a minimum
6-in h (15.24 m) learan e between the ba k guard and
the first bend in the du twork for ease of servi ing. Single or
independent dryer venting is re ommended. It is suggested
that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45°
bends instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably
be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the du t. All du twork should
be smooth inside with no proje tions from sheet metal
s rews or other obstru tions, whi h will olle t lint. When
adding du ts, overlap the du t being onne ted. All du twork
joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from
es aping into the building. Ba k draft dampers must be
installed in all ommonly du ted systems. Inspe tion doors
should be installed at strategi points in the exhaust
du twork for periodi inspe tion and leaning of lint from
the du twork.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster
fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.
Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/
magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0
and must not exceed 0.6 in WC (1. 8 mb).
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall,
ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct
(all the way around). The duct must be centered within
this opening.
The du twork for this applian e must be suitable for the
applian e ategory in a ordan e with national installation
regulations of the ountry of destination.
Outside Venting Protection
To shelter the outside end of the horizontal du twork from
the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed
where the exhaust exits the building. If the du twork travels
verti ally up through the roof, it should be prote ted from the
weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.
In either ase, allow at least twi e the diameter of the du t
between the du t opening and the nearest obstru tion (refer
to the diagram).
IMPORTANT: Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Single Dryer Venting
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-
sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.

10 Maytag Co. 113249-2
NOTE 1 Opening from ombustible materials must be 2-in hes (5.08 m)
larger than the du t (all the way around). The du t must be entered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distan e should be 2 times the diameter of the du t to the nearest
obstru tion.

Piping / Connections
The dryer is provided with two 1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe
onne tions (1 for ea h tumbler) at the rear of the dryer. If a
separate feed is provided for ea h tumbler from the main
supply line (header), then a 1/2” (12.7 mm) line onne tion
is suffi ient. However, if the top and bottom tumbler
onne tions are onne ted together, the supply from the
header must be in reased to 3/4” (19.05 mm). There should
be a minimum 6-in h (15.24 m) learan e between the
ba k guard and the first bend in the gas piping for ease of
servi ing. It is re ommended that a gas shutoff valve be
provided to the gas supply line of ea h dryer for ease in
servi ing.
The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary
depending on the distan e this line travels from the gas
meter or, in the ase of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-
operated applian es on the same line, et . Spe ifi
information regarding supply line size should be determined
by the gas supplier.

Preoperational Test __________________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspe ted before leaving
the fa tory. However, a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publi ly used. It is possible
that adjustments have hanged in transit or due to marginal
lo ation (installation) onditions.
Turn on ele tri power to the dryer.
Refer to the operating instru tions below for starting your
parti ular model dryer.
Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it
has a tenden y not to ignite on the first ignition attempt.
This is be ause the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it
may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the
lines.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that all
gas shutoff valves are open.
Tumbler Coating
The tumbler is treated with a prote tive oating. We suggest
dampening old garments or loth material with a solution
of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling
them in the tumbler to remove this oating.
