Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only
It is your responsibility
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical
supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Do not use an extension cord.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The
neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,
see “Optional 3-wire connection” in “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a
location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

If using an existing vent system
Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint.
Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent.
Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best
drying performance.
If this is a new vent system
Vent material
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent
Vent products can be purchased from your dealer or by calling Maytag Services. For more information, see the “Assistance or Service” section.
Rigid metal vent
For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent
Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final
location.
Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow and poor performance.
Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate installations are available for purchase. Please see the “Assistance or Service” section to order.
Over-the-Top Installation:
Part Number 4396028
Periscope Installation (For use with dryer vent to wall vent mismatch):
Part Number 4396037 - 0" (0 cm) to 18" (45.72 cm) mismatch Part Number 4396011 - 18" (45.72 cm) to 29" (73.66 cm) mismatch Part Number 4396014 - 29" (73.66 cm) to 50" (127 cm) mismatch
Rear exhaust installation to left or right side:
Part Number 8212504
Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path
Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance
Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood
combinations acceptable to use. NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust
systems longer than those specified will:
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.
Vent system chart
NOTE: Performance of rear exhaust to either side of the dryer is equivalent to adding one
elbow. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one elbow to the chart.

Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around
exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path” in
“Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.
Install Leveling Legs
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. To protect the floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place
cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.
2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel). Gently lay the dryer on
the cardboard. See illustration.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible.
5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners.
Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
Level Dryer
Check the levelness of the dryer by first placing a level on the top of the dryer near the console.
Then, by placing a level in the crease on the side of the dryer between the top of the dryer and the dryer cabinet, check the levelness from front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to
existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.
