In the absence of such codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in CANADA, the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/ CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION. 1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight.
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of twelve (12) inches (18-inches or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance , and service) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings SHOULD NOT be located near duct work exhaust outlets. If make-up air opening(s) are too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes may be drawn back into the dryer area through these openings. NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized duct work will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
NOTE: Where the exhaust duct passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches larger (all the way around) than the duct. The duct must be centered within this opening. To protect the outside end of the horizontal duct work from the weather, a 90º elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building.
2. MULTIPLE DRYER (Common) VENTING If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a "common main duct." The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º in the direction of the airflow. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 8-inch duct is added. IMPORTANT: No more than eight (8) dryers should be connected to one main common duct.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens or caps on the outside opening of exhaust duct work.
F. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION 1. Electrical Requirements It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes.

A separate circuit serving each dryer tumbler must be provided.
Providing local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must conform to the rating of the dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer. ELECTRIC S ERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (per Tumbler) A seperate circuit breaker must be provided for each tumbler/pocket. NOTES: Circuit breakers are thermal magnetic (industrial) type ONLY.
G. GAS INFORMATION It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the gas plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in CANADA, the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.
The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, unless elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet are made by changing each burner orifice. If this conversion is necessary, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact the Maytag. 2. Technical Gas Data a.
The dryer is provided with a 3/4" N.P.T. inlet pipe connection at the upper right hand corner (when viewed from the rear) of each dryer. It is recommended that a gas shutoff valve be provided to the gas supply line of each dryer for ease of servicing. The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter (or in the case of L.P. [liquid propane] gas, the supply tank), the number of tees, other gasoperated appliances on the supply line, etc.
WARNING: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent works well). NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!! It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of appliance Btu's being supplied. H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer: 1. Read ALL "CAUTION," "WARNING," and "DIRECTION" labels attached to the dryer. 2.
3) Start the dryer by pressing the desired fabric setting. After the cycle is started, drying time will count down whether the door is closed or open. NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by opening the main door. To restart dryer, shut the main door and press desired fabric setting. 4) Open main door to stop the dryer, and change to a different fabric setting. Repeat this procedure, until ALL fabric selections have been tested.
3. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to insure that the timing is correct and that the temperatures are set properly. 4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-related circuits (i.e., door switches, hi-limit thermostats, sail switches, basket (tumbler) safety thermostats, etc.). NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the control door while the dryer is running and the heating unit (burner) active (on).
SECTION IV OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A. STARTING THE DRYER The dryer is available for use when the appropriate side of the microprocessor display reads "0 minutes" and the amount needed to start the dryer (i.e., "25"). Once the load has been put into the dryer and the main door is closed, start the dryer as follows: 1. Insert the proper number of coins into the coin acceptor. Once the correct "Amount To Start" has been inserted, the display will read "SELECT CYCLE". 2. Determine fabric setting (selection).
