Untape and open washer lid. Remove installation accessory package, fill hoses and drain
hose and close lid. Leave tub block in place until installation is complete. Be sure to remove
tub block after installation is complete and before use.!

Using the carton corner posts stacked in pairs, lay the washer on the posts on the left side.
Remove the crate base wires from the carton base. Use pliers or screwdriver to pry wires

from wood. (Do not kick the shipping base off of the washer).

Run the washer rear legs all the way up into the rear corner brackets and lock in place by
tightening lock nuts. Leave the front legs loose for leveling in a following step.

Install vinyl feet on the washer legs.

With the washer laying down, check belt tension and motor track freedom. Lay a piece of
the shipping cardboard along the bottom edge of the cabinet and stand the washer back up.

(The cardboard protects the lower edge at the cabinet and the floor when standing the washer
back up).

NOTE: With the rear washer legs adjusted up, cabinet corner brackets in the rear can touch
and damage floor if caution is not used when moving washer

The dryer and stand are installed first. Necessary electrical, gas, (if gas stacked
washer!dryer) and vent connections are made as dryer and stand are put in position and lev-

eled. Let's first look at what facilities are needed.

PREINSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Location: The stacked washer/dryer is approved for zero clearance installation on 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. A floor which is adequate for the standard washer is sufficient
for the stacked washer/dryer.

The following specifications and drawings show dimensions and locations of fill valve, ter-
minal block (electric dryer) gas inlet (gas dryer) and drain outlet.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

When the stacked washer/dryer is to be 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.

\

36 Sq. I

Openin_

J

Each opening area must have a minimum of 36 square inches. These openings must not be

obstructed. (Louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable).

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Installation of Maytag dryers certified by the American Gas Association and bearing a label
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 operation of the dryer unit, it is important to make 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 1/2 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 to two screws at the top front corners of the dryer front panel (on the top).

EXHAUSTING

The free air flow rate is approximately 180 cubic feet per minute. The vent system carries
lint and moisture away and to the outside. The length of the venting and the number of

elbows affect the air flow rate and the efficiency of the exhaust system.

DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO 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 LINT EXPELLED BY

THE DRYER. FOR THE SAME I_ASON, WE RECOMMEND ONLY METAL

EXHAUST DUCT TO MINIMIZE RESTPdCTED AIR FLOW AND RELIABLY INSURE

THE CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND LINT. NEVER INSTALL A
SCREEN OVER EXHAUST OUTLET. NEVER USE PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUS-

TIBLE DUCTWORK. AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, INSPECT AND CLEAN INTE_OR

OF DUCTWORK. FREQUENTLY CHECK AND CLEAN VENT HOOD TO ASSURE
PROPER OPERATION.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and the area around the clothes dryer should be

kept free of lint. DO NOT STORE FLAMAVlABLE LIQUIDS OR MATERIALS NEAR

A DRYER.

It is recommended that a dryer be exhausted to the outside using 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/dryer can only be exhausted out the back. A 4" vent should be installed
to accept the exhaust from the dryer.

To permit sufficient air circulation under the exhaust hood, there should be no less than a 12"
clearance between the bottom of the exhaust hood and the ground. When possible the

exhaust hood should not exhaust directly into a window well. DO NOT terminate 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.
