ALCOVE OR CLOSET
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 allow- ance for more clearance than the minimum
installation clearances as shown.

Exhaust the dryer using metal exhausting material or exhaust kit (see your authorized
Maytag dealer), 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 impor-
tant to make sure the location has adequate
make=up air. This is especially important in any confined area such as bathroom or closet. There
must be at least two 36 square inch unobstructed openings for intake air. This can be a Iouvered door or other equivalent opening.
On gas dryer units in particular, adequate clear- ance as noted on the dryer minimum clearance label should be maintained to insure enough air
for combustion and the 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
combustible surfaces must be maintained. Clearance to wall, 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.
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, must conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80.
When installing this appliance in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer should be
made. An anchor bracket kit is available to fas-
ten dryer stand to the floor. Instructions for
installing the anchor brackets are contained in each kit. (See your authorized Maytag dealer.)
All mobile home installations must be exhausted
to the outside with the exhaust duct termination
securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion.
SERVICE ACCESS
Location should allow access to the front of the unit for washer and dryer service. Access must
also be available to two screws at the top front corners of the dryer front panel (on the top).
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,
CEIMNG, CRAWL SPACE OR A CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUiLDiNG, VENT CONNECTION,
GAS VENT OR CHMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM UNT
EXPELLED BY THE DRYER. FOR THE SAME REASON, WE RECOMMEND ONLY METAL
EXHAUST DUCT TO MiNIMiZE RESTRICTED AIR FLOW AND RELIABLY toNSURE THE
CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIRo HEAT AND
printed in U=S=A= 3
LINT. NEVER iNSTALL A SCREEN OVER EXHAUST OUTLET. NEVER USE PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK. AT
LEAST ONCE AYEAR, INSPECT AND CLEAN iNTERIOR OF DUCTWORK. FREQUENTLY
CHECK AND CLEAN VENT HOODTO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION.
A cbthes dryer produces combustibUe tint and
the area around the clothes dryer shouUd be kept free of tint. DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS OR MATERmALS NEAR A DRYER. tt is recommended that the dryer be exhausted
to the outside using 4 inch rigid or flexible metaU
ducting. When located in a bedroom, bathroom or cUoset,
the dryer must be exhausted to the outside.
The stacked washer/dryer can only be exhaust° ed out the back. A 4 inch vent shouUd be
installed to accept the exhaust from the dryer. To permit sufficient air circulation under the
exhaust hood, there shouUd be no less than a 12 inch cUearance between the bottom of the
exhaust hood and the ground. When possible
the exhaust hood shouUd not exhaust directly
into a window weft. 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. tnstall the exhaust hood and secure with screws
to the outside waft and seal with caulking compound.
DIRECT EXHAUST
An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust pipe can be installed directly
through an outside wall. This would be the
shortest and most direct exhaust method. To exhaust up, route standard 4 inch diameter
ducting up the recess in the cabinet back using
the furnished retaining strap and screws to get
nearly flush to wall installation. To exhaust to the side or down, install the furnished 4 inch long
duct with four"S" clips to the inner dryer exhaust, then use standard 4 inch ducting. This will posi- tion the dryer about 4ol/2 inches away from the
wall. Flush-to-wall side exhausting may be done
by going above the dryer before going sideways.
When exhausting down, wallboard can be
removed from the wall to get the dryer closer to the wall by placing the exhaust pipe between
studs. Check toccata codes for required
exhaust cmearances.
Install ductwork from the dryer to exhaust hood.
All joints must be made so exhaust end of one
pipe is inside the intake end of next pipe. On flexible metal ductwork, all joints should be
secured with a clamp. DO NOT use sheet metal
screws when assembling rigid ducting. Joints
should be taped.

FLEXIBLE DUCTWORK
Flexible metal ductwork should not exceed 34 feet of straight 4 inch ducting. The exhaust hood
is equivalent to 8 feet of duct and each 90 ° bend
is equivalent to 8 feet. As an example, if an
exhaust hood is used and two 90 ° bends, the
maximum straight run would be 10 feet.
NOTE: if the radius of a bend with 4 inch duct is
12 inches or greater, the bend can be considered
a straight run. No more than three 90° bends
should be used in any run with an exhaust hood.
tf flexible metal exhaust ducting is used, the short
extension supplied with this machine can be
secured to the dryer exhaust with the clips and the flexible metal duct can be clamped to the
short extension.
