In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1- LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 &...

  • Page 13: Location Requirements

    B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. 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 installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1- M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing).

  • Page 14: Dryer Enclosure Requirements

    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top; except along the front of the dryer, which may be closed if desired.

  • Page 15: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS The air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer.

  • Page 16: Exhaust Requirements

    E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

  • Page 17: Single Dryer Venting

    NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 0.0195-inches (26 gauge [0.05 mm]) thick.”...

  • Page 18: Vertical Venting

    VERTICAL VENTING When vertical single 10-inch (25.4 cm) venting is used (refer to Illus. B below), the ductwork from the dryer to the outside outlet cannot exceed 40 feet (12.19 meters). This calculation compensates for the use of a maximum of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating the 180°...
  • Page 19 MULTIPLE DRYER (COMMON) VENTING If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled into a common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a back draft damper. The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45°...
  • Page 20 HORIZONTAL VENTING Illus. C VERTICAL VENTING Illus. D...
  • Page 21 IMPORTANT VENTING REMINDERS 1. Ductwork size and installation should be done by a qualified professional. 2. The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. 3. Ductwork should be routed as short as possible to the outdoors with as few elbows as possible. 4.

  • Page 22: Electrical Information

    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 to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
  • Page 23 NOTE: Component failure due to improper voltage application will VOID THE WARRANTY. 3. Grounding A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
  • Page 24 SINGLE-PHASE (1Ø) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION LEADS Black White Green Positive Neutral Ground If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord or pigtail (wire size must conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker panel.
  • Page 25 5. 3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connections/Hookup The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes Neutral) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuit is done internally to the dryer. No single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a 3-phase (3ø) dryer. IMPORTANT: A CIRCUIT SERVICING EACH DRYER MUST BE PROVIDED.
  • Page 26 ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (PER DRYER) IMPORTANT: 208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering, specify exact voltage. NOTES: When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to listed appliance amp draw data.

  • Page 30 Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure.

  • Page 31: Preparation For Operation/Start-Up

    H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP 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. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label affixed to the left side panel area behind the top control (access) door.

  • Page 32: Preoperational Tests

    I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation) conditions. 1.

  • Page 33: Preoperational Instructions

    5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls. NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the manual supplied with the dryer. 6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
  • Page 34 NOTES: 1. If the Antiwrinkle program is active, the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will continue to read “donE,” and the microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed through the Antiwrinkle program until the maximum “Active Guard Time” has expired or until the door is opened, whichever comes first.
  • Page 35 IMPORTANT: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat and motor will stop. However, the microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count the time, either upward or downward, depending on which parameter is programmed. Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed and any other of the three (3) temperature selection buttons is again depressed.

  • Page 36: Shutdown Instructions

    K. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed: 1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker. 2.

  • Page 37: Service/Parts Information

    SERVICE/PARTS INFORMATION A. SERVICE 1. Service must be performed by a qualified trained technician, service agency, or gas supplier. If service is required, contact the dealer from whom the Maytag equipment was purchased. If the dealer cannot be contacted or is unknown, contact the Maytag Co. for a dealer in your area.
