Electrical Requirements - Maytag MDE2400AZW Installation Instructions Manual

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.48 inches of
water column, or be less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the
exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler
should be empty and the lint filter clean.
NONEXHAUSTED INSTALLATIONS
° If the electric dryer is not exhausted to the outside, the exhaust must not terminate
directly behind the dryer.
° Use a rectangular vent kit along with a Dacron mesh lint bag (see Accessories).
Maintain a 6" (15.2 cm) clearance between the back of the control panel and the wall.
Although the lint screen and lint bag will retain most of the lint, a certain amount will be
expelled into the laundry area.
° WARNING: IF THE DRYER IS NOT EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTSIDE, SOME FINE
LINT WILL BE EXPELLED INTO THE LAUNDRY AREA. AN ACCUMULATION OF
DUST OR LINT IN ANY AREA OF THE HOME CREATES A FIRE HAZARD. ANY
LINT ACCUMULATIONS MUST BE CLEANED FREQUENTLY.

last page of installation instructions.
_-WARNING WARNING - To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, eUectricaU shock or personal injury, all
wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with iocam codes, or in the
_ bsence of locam codes, with the Nationam Electricam Code, ANSm!NFPA (for the
United States) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 (for Canada).
GROUNDING
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT
WATER PIPES.
ELECTRIC MODELS
U.S. electric models are shipped with a ground strap connected from the neutral terminal
block post to the frame of the dryer. If local codes prohibit the use of the ground strap, the
dryer must be grounded in accordance with local codes.
