ALCOVE OR CLOSETINSTALLATIONWhen the stacked washer/dryer is to be installedin an alcove area or a closet, clearance shouldbe provided around the unit for an adequate airsupply and for ease of installation and servicing.An appliance installed in a closet shall have noother fuel burning appliance installed in thesame closet, such as gas furnace, water heateror space heater, etc.

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside tominimize excessive lint accumulation and tomaintain good drying. We recommend allow-ance for more clearance than the minimuminstallation clearances as shown.

Exhaust the dryer using metal exhaustingmaterial or exhaust kit (see your authorizedMaytag dealer), and locate in an area thatprovides adequate make-up air. The exhaustduct may not terminate beneath the mobile home.

MAKE-UP AIRFor proper operation of the dryer unit it is impor-tant to make sure the location has adequatemake-up air. This is especially important in anyconfined area such as bathroom or closet. Theremust be at least two 36 square inch unobstructedopenings for intake air. This can be a louvereddoor or other equivalent opening.

On gas dryer units in particular, adequate clear-ance as noted on the dryer minimum clearancelabel should be maintained to insure enough airfor combustion and the proper operation of thedryer. The area where located must notobstruct the flow of combustion or ventilatingair. When installing a Maytag Stacked Washer/Dryer the following minimum clearances tocombustible surfaces must be maintained.Clearance to wall, sides – 0 inches, top – 6 inches,front – 1/2 inch to washer, rear – 0 inches with anoutside exhaust, 4 inches with an inside exhaust(not recommended). See Exhausting section andInstallation Accessories for exhaust kits.

SERVICE ACCESSLocation should allow access to the front of theunit for washer and dryer service. Access mustalso be available to two screws at the top frontcorners of the dryer front panel (on the top).

EXHAUSTINGThe free air flow rate is approximately 180 cubicfeet per minute. The vent system carries lint andmoisture away and to the outside. The length ofthe venting and the number of elbows affect theair flow rate and the efficiency of the exhaust system.

DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL,CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A CONCEALEDSPACE OF A BUILDING, VENT CONNECTION,GAS VENT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULDCREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINTEXPELLED BY THE DRYER. FOR THE SAMEREASON, WE RECOMMEND ONLY METALEXHAUST DUCT TO MINIMIZE RESTRICTEDAIR FLOW AND RELIABLY INSURE THECONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND

LINT. NEVER INSTALL A SCREEN OVEREXHAUST OUTLET. NEVER USE PLASTIC OROTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK. ATLEAST ONCE A YEAR, INSPECT AND CLEANINTERIOR OF DUCTWORK. FREQUENTLYCHECK AND CLEAN VENT HOOD TO ASSUREPROPER OPERATION.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint andthe area around the clothes dryer should be keptfree of lint. DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLELIQUIDS OR MATERIALS NEAR A DRYER.

It is recommended that the dryer be exhaustedto the outside using 4 inch rigid or flexible metalducting.

When located in a bedroom, bathroom or closet,the dryer must be exhausted to the outside.

The stacked washer/dryer can only be exhaust-ed out the back. A 4 inch vent should beinstalled to accept the exhaust from the dryer.

To permit sufficient air circulation under theexhaust hood, there should be no less than a 12inch clearance between the bottom of theexhaust hood and the ground. When possiblethe exhaust hood should not exhaust directlyinto a window well. DO NOT terminate exhaustunder a building.

NOTE: Where the exhaust hood is to beinstalled through masonry, a special masonrysaw is necessary to cut the hole.

Install the exhaust hood and secure with screwsto the outside wall and seal with caulking compound.

DIRECT EXHAUSTAn exhaust hood positioned to line up with thedryer exhaust pipe can be installed directlythrough an outside wall. This would be theshortest and most direct exhaust method.

To exhaust up, route standard 4 inch diameterducting up the recess in the cabinet back usingthe furnished retaining strap and screws to getnearly flush to wall installation. To exhaust to theside or down, install the furnished 4 inch longduct with four “S” clips to the inner dryer exhaust,then use standard 4 inch ducting. This will posi-tion the dryer about 4-1/2 inches away from thewall. Flush-to-wall side exhausting may be doneby going above the dryer before going sideways.

When exhausting down, wallboard can beremoved from the wall to get the dryer closer tothe wall by placing the exhaust pipe betweenstuds. Check local codes for requiredexhaust clearances.

Install ductwork from the dryer to exhaust hood.All joints must be made so exhaust end of onepipe is inside the intake end of next pipe. Onflexible metal ductwork, all joints should besecured with a clamp. DO NOT use sheet metalscrews when assembling rigid ducting. Jointsshould be taped.

4inch

2 1/2inch

FLEXIBLE DUCTWORKLIMITATIONSFlexible metal ductwork should not exceed 34feet of straight 4 inch ducting. The exhaust hoodis equivalent to 8 feet of duct and each 90° bendis equivalent to 8 feet. As an example, if anexhaust hood is used and two 90° bends, themaximum straight run would be 10 feet.

NOTE: If the radius of a bend with 4 inch duct is12 inches or greater, the bend can be considereda straight run. No more than three 90° bendsshould be used in any run with an exhaust hood.

If flexible metal exhaust ducting is used, the shortextension supplied with this machine can besecured to the dryer exhaust with the clips andthe flexible metal duct can be clamped to theshort extension.

printed in U.S.A. 5

RIGID DUCTWORKLIMITATIONSRigid metal ductwork should not exceed 54 feetof straight 4 inch duct. Each 90° elbow and theexhaust hood should be considered equivalentto 8 feet of straight ductwork.

For example, if an exhaust hood and two 90°elbows are used, the maximum straight ductallowed would be 26 feet. Not more than three90° elbows should be used in any rigid ductworkrun with an exhaust hood. Four feet of straightduct should be allowed between 90° elbows.

4. Connect the other two wires of the cord to theouter terminals of the terminal block.

5. Replace the terminal block cover.

208 VOLT OPERATIONA stacked washer/dryer model is available for208 volt operation.

Canadian Models

All Canadian models are shipped with the powercord attached. The dryer power cord should beplugged into a 30 ampere receptacle and fusedthrough a 30 ampere fuse or comparable circuitbreaker on both sides of the line.

NOTE: It is not permissible to convert a dryer inCanada to 208 volts. A 208 volt model is notavailable for Canada.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINWATER SUPPLY

The water supply to the washer unit should becapable of providing both adequate waterpressure and water temperature. The pressureshould fall within the range of 20 pounds persquare inch to 120 pounds per square inchwhen the washer is filling. Note that this is flowpressure and not static pressure. Low waterpressure will result in slow fill and could result ina water valve sticking open after a fill.

The recommended temperature of the hot wateras delivered to the washer should be 140° F.

Warm water temperature is a result of the mix ofthe hot and cold water supplies. The finaltemperature is dependent on both the pressureand the temperatures of the hot and coldsupplies. The desired temperature for warm isbetween 100° F. and 105° F.

DRAIN FACILITIES

The drain must be capable of accepting a flowrate of approximately 20 gallons per minute. Aninside diameter of at least 1 1/2 inches is required.
