PREINSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Location: Thestacked washer/dryer is approved for zeroclearance installationon the sides
and the back (depending on venting used). The location selected must take into consideration
the dimensions of the unit and convenience for customer use and access in case service should
be needed. The floor must be capable at supporting the weight of the unit (approximately
340 pounds) plus water (approximately 130 pounds) and be stable enough to prevent exces-
sive vibration in spin cycles. Afloor which is adequate for the standard washer is sufficient
for the stacked washer/dryer.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
When the stacked washer/dryer is tobe installed in an alcove area or a closet, clearance
should be provided around the unit for an adequate air supply and for ease of installation and
servicing. An appliance installed in a closet shall have no other fuel burning appliance
installed in the same closet, such as gas furnace, water heater or space heater, etc.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to minimize excessive lint accumulation and to
maintain good drying. We recommend allowance for more clearance than the minimum
installation clearances as shown. Ceiling

MOBILE HOMEINSTALLATION
Installation of Maytag dryers certified by the American Gas Association and bearing alabel
stating they are suitable for installation in mobile homes, when installed in mobile homes,
must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR,
part 32-80.
When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer should be
made. An anchor bracket kit is available, Part No. 303740 to fasten dryer stand to floor.
Instructions for installing the anchor brackets are contained in each kit.
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. Exhaust the dryer using flexible metal exhausting materials and locate in an area
that provides adequate make-up air. The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the mobile
home.

MAKE - UP AIR
For proper operationof the dryer unit, it is important tomake sure the location has adequate
make-up air. This is especially important in any confined area such as a bathroom or closet.
There must be at least two 36 inch square unobstructed openings for intake air. This can be a
louvered door or other equivalent opening.
On gas dryer units in particular, adequate clearance as noted on the dryer minimum clearance
label should be maintained to insure enough air for combustion and proper operation of the
dryer. The area where located must not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air.
When installing a Maytag Stacked Washer/Dryer the following minimum clearances to com-
bustible surfaces must be maintained; clearance to wall and sides, 0 inches, top, 6 inches,
front I/2 inch to washer, rear 0 inches with an outside exhaust, 4 inches with an inside
exhaust (not recommended). See Exhausting Section and Installation Accessories for exhaust
kits.
SERVICE ACCESS
Location should allow access to the foot at the unit for washer and dryer service. Access
must be available totwo screws at the top front corners of the dryer front panel (on the top).

EXHAUSTING
The free air flowrateis approximately 180cubic feetper minute.The vent system carries
lint and moisture away and to the outside.Thelength of the venting and the number of
elbows affect theair flowrateand the efficiency of the exhaust system.
DO NOTEXHAUST DRYERINTO ANY WALL,CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A
CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUILDING,VENT CONNECTION,GAS VENT OR
CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINTEXPELLED BY
THEDRYER.FOR THE SAME REASON,WE RECOMMEND ONLY METAL
EXHAUST DUCT TO MINIMIZE RESTRICTED AIR FLOWAND RELIABLY INSURE
THE CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND LINT. NEVERINSTALL A
SCREEN OVER EXHAUST OUTLET. NEVER USE PLASTIC OROTHER COMBUS-
TIBLE DUCTWORK. AT LEASTONCE A YEAR, INSPECTAND CLEAN INTERIOR
OFDUCTWORK, FREQUENTLY CHECKAND CLEAN VENT HOOD TO ASSURE
PROPEROPERATION.
A clothes dryerproduces combustiblelintand the area around the clothes dryer should be
kept free of lint.DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR MATERIALS NEAR
A DRYER.
It isrecommended that a dryer be exhausted to the outsideusing 4" rigid or flexible metal
ducting.
When located in a bedroom, bathroom or closet, the dryer must be exhausted to the outside.
The stacked washer/dryercan only be exhausted out the back. A 4"vent should be installed
to accept the exhaust from thedryer.
To permit sufficient air circulation underthe exhaust hood,there shouldbe no less thana12"
clearance between the bottom ofthe exhaust hoodandthe ground. When possible the
exhaust hood should not exhaust directly into a window well. DO NOTterminate exhaust
under a building.
NOTE: Where the exhaust hood is to be installed through masonry, a special masonry saw is
necessary to cut the hole.
Install the exhaust hood and secure with screws to the outside wall and seal with caulking
compound.

DIRECT EXHAUST
An exhaust hood positionedtoline up with the dryer exhaustpipe can be installed directly
through an outside wall. This wouldbe the shortest andmost direct exhaust method.
Toexhaust up, route standard4" diameter ducting up the recess and in the cabinet back using
the furnished retaining strap an screws toget nearly flush towall installation. Toexhaust to
the sideordown, install the furnished 4" long duct with four "S" clips tothe inner dryer
exhaust, then use standard4" ducting. This willposition the dryer about 4 1/2" away from
the wall. Flush towall side exhausting may be done by going above the dryer before going
sideways.
When exhausting down,wallboardcan be removed from the walltoget the dryer closer to
the wall by placing the exhaust pipe between the studs. Checklocal codes for required
exhaust clearances.
Install ductwork from the dryer toexhaust hood. All joints must be made soexhaust end of
one pipe is inside the intake end of the next pipe. On flexible metal ductwork, all joints
should be secured with a 304630 clamp. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling
rigid ducting. Joints should taped.
Ill
FLEXIBLE DUCTWORK LIMITATIONS
Flexible metal ductwork shouldnot exceed34' of straight 4" ducting. The exhaust hood is
equivalent to8' ofduct andeach 90 degree bendis equivalent to8'. As an example if an
exhaust hood is used and two90 degree bends, the maximum straight run wouldbe 10'.
NOTE: If the radius of a bend with 4" duct is 12" or greater, the bend can be considered a
straight run. No more than three 90 degree bends should be used in any run with an exhaust
hood.
If flexible metal exhaust ducting is used, cut a short piece (about 3") off the male end of a 4"
diameter metal duct pipe. The short extension can be secured to the dryer exhaust with the
clips and the flexible metal duct can be clamped to the short extension.

RIGID DUCTWORK LIMITATIONS
Rigid metal ductwork should not exceed 50' of straight 4"duct. Each 90 degree elbow and
the exhaust hood should be considered equivalent to 8' of straight ductwork.
For example, if an exhaust hood and two 90 degree elbows are used, the maximum straight
duct allowed would be 26'. Not more than three 90 degree elbows should be used in any
rigid ductwork run with an exhaust hood.Four feet of straight duct should be allowed
between 90 degree elbows
