openings into the combustion chamber.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature remains
between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).

8 Maytag Co. 113284-1
Dryer Enclosure Requirements ______
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of non-combustible
material.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control
door.
A The requirement to allow the door to open completely is
35-inches (88.9 cm).
B A minimum overhead clearance of 6-inches (15.24 cm)
is required.
C Dryer should be positioned a minimum of 16-inches
(40.64 cm) away from the nearest obstruction. 30-inches
(76.2 cm) is recommended for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service.
D 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum is required.
E Flooring should be level or below dryer cabinet for ease
of removing panels during maintenance.
F Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however
a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be made
for the opening and closing of the control door, along
with the removal of panels during maintenance.
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 continually
replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is
inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely
affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering”
problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from
overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions for
adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration
to ensure proper performance of each dryer. Fresh air
ventilation openings shall not be blocked and/or sealed. As
a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors
of 220 inch2(1419.35 cm2) is required for each 60 Hz dryer.
(Based on 1 inch2[6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal].)
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening
for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are
acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner
that the make-up air is distributed equally to all the dryers.
A = 22-inches (55.88 cm) B = 20-inches (50.8 cm)
EXAMPLE: For a bank of four 60 Hz dryers, 2 unrestricted
openings measuring 22-inches by 20-inches (55.88 cm by
50.8 cm) are acceptable.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be increased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located 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 ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit
protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a
proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for
type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or
other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be
equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made
of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-
inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”

113284-1 Maytag Co. 9
!WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the
ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. There should be a minimum
6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the dryer top and the
first bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or
independent dryer venting is recommended. 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 duct. All ductwork should be
smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws
or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding
ducts, overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork joints
must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping
into the building. Back draft dampers must be installed in all
commonly ducted systems. Inspection doors should be
installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for
periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
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 (1.48 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 ductwork for this appliance must be suitable for the
appliance category in accordance with national installation
regulations of the country of destination.
Outside Venting Protection
To shelter the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from
the weather, a 90°elbow bent downward should be installed
where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels
vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the
weather by using a 180°turn to point the opening downward.
In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct
between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (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. 113284-1
The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional
area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures
must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to
where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 12 feet (3.66
meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it.
Multiple Dryer Venting with 10-Inch (25.4 cm) Diameter
1080 cfm (30.58 cmm) Exhaust Connections at Common Duct
NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)
larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest
obstruction.
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 ducts for each
dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a
“common main duct.”The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than
45ºin the direction of airflow. The main duct should be
tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual
duct is added. The minimum diameter of the individual
ductwork must be at least 10-inches (25.4 cm).
IMPORTANT: No more than four dryers should be
connected to one main common duct.
NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)
larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest
obstruction.

with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada: An individual manual shutoff valve must be
installed in accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code. It is recommended that an
individual manual shutoff valve be installed within 6 feet (1.8
meters) of the dryer.
Gas Connections
Inlet connection .....1/2”N.P.T.
Inlet supply size .....1/2”Diameter Pipe (minimum)
Piping / Connections
The dryer is provided with two 1/2”N.P.T. inlet pipe
connections (1 for each tumbler) at the rear of the dryer. If a
separate feed is provided for each tumbler from the main
supply line (header), then a 1/2”(12.7 mm) line connection
is sufficient. However, if the top and bottom tumbler
connections are connected together, the supply from the
header must be increased to 3/4”(19.05 mm). There should
be a minimum 6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the back
guard and the first bend in the gas piping for ease of servicing.
It is recommended that a gas shutoff valve be provided to
the gas supply line of each dryer for ease in servicing.
The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary
depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter
or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-operated
appliances on the same line, etc. Specific information
regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas
supplier.

Consistent gas pressure is essential at all gas connections.
It is recommended that a 3/4”(19.05 mm) pipe gas loop be
installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An
in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply
line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 13.0 in
WC (32.34 mb) pressure.
A plugged tap, accessible for a pressure gauge connection,
must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately
upstream of the dryers.
NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or
inconsistent pressure, which will result in erratic operation
of the burner ignition system.

Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external
disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
Discontinue the fuel supply: close external gas shutoff valve.
Also close internal gas shutoff valves.
Service / Parts Information __________
Service
Service must be performed by a qualified trained technician,
service agency, or gas supplier. If service is required, contact
the Maytag distributor from whom the equipment was
purchased. If the distributor cannot be contacted or is
unknown, contact the Maytag Co. for a distributor in your
area.
NOTE: When contacting the Maytag Co., be sure to give
them the correct model number and serial number so that
your inquiry is handled in an expeditious manner.
Parts
Replacement parts should be purchased from the distributor
from whom the Maytag equipment was purchased. If the
distributor cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the
Maytag Co. for a distributor in your area.
NOTE: When ordering replacement parts from the Maytag
distributor or the Maytag Co. be sure to give them the
correct model number and serial number so that your parts
order can be processed in an expeditious manner.
Preparation for Operation / Start-Up _
The following items should be checked before attempting to
operate the dryer:
•Read all “WARNING”and “DIRECTION”labels attached
to the dryer.
•Check incoming supply voltage to ensure that it is the
same as indicated on the data label.
•Ensure that all gas shutoff valves are in the open
position.
•Ensure all back panels (guards) and electric box covers
are in place.
•Ensure the service doors are closed and securely in
place.
•Ensure the lint door/drawer is securely in place.
•Rotate the tumbler (drum) by hand to ensure it moves
freely.
•Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for
tightness and security.
•Check that the vent is connected to the dryer and is
exhausted to the outdoors.
Preoperational Test __________________
All dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving
the factory. However, a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible
that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal
location (installation) conditions.
Turn on electric power to the dryer.
Refer to the operating instructions below for starting your
particular model dryer.
Open all shutoff valves.
When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it
has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This
is because 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 protective coating. We suggest
dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of
water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them
in the tumbler to remove this coating.
Microprocessor Programs / Selections
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been
preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used
parameter (program) selections. If computer program
changes are required, refer to the computer programming
manual which was shipped with the dryer.

Routine Maintenance _________________
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic
inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas
of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The
frequency of cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency
is dependent upon proper airflow. The accumulation of lint
can restrict this airflow.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running)
hours per day.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third or Fourth Load
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint
screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint door/
drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.
Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull the
drawer out loosen the TORX®screws on the sides of the
rails. This allows the metal clips to rotate and allow the
drawer to be fully removed. Reverse the above process
for installation.
IMPORTANT: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen
can best be determined from experience at each location.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and
microprocessor temperature sensor area.
90 Days
!WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical
shock.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching
ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush
or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing
opening.
Every 6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Check back draft dampers in the exhaust
ductwork. Inspect and remove any lint accumulation,
which can cause the damper to bind or stick.
A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can
result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety
switches or thermostats.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 12 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections
and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves,
and orifices). Belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously
frayed belts should be replaced. Complete an operational
check of controls and valves. Complete an operational check
of all safety devices (lint door/drawer switch, door switches,
sail switch, and hi-limit thermostats).
