ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MOBILE HOME INSTALLA TION
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLA TlON
When the dryer is to be installed in an
alcove area or a closet, clearance
should be provided around the dryer
for an adequate air supply and for ease
of installation and servicing. Clear-
ances for the companion automatic
washer should also be considered. An
appliance installed in a closet shall
have no other fuel burning appliance
installed in the same closet. The dryer
must be exhausted to the outside to
minimize excessive lint accumulation
and to maintain good drying. We
recommend allowance for more clear-
ance than the minimum installation
clearances as shown.
Make Up Air Openings.
Each opening area must have a
minimum of 36 square inches ( more is
better). These openings must not be
obstructed. (Louvered door with equiv-
alent air opening is acceptable.)
Maytag dryers are certified by the
American Gas Association and bearing
a label stating they are suitable for
installation in mobile homes. When
installed in mobile homes, the installa-
tion must conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety
Standard Title 24 CRF, Part 32-80.
When installing a dryer in a mobile
home, provisions for anchoring the
dryer should be made. An anchor
bracket kit is available, Part No. 303740.
Instructions for installing the anchor
brackets are contained in each kit.
All mobile home installations must be
exhausted to the outside with the
exhaust duct termination securely fas-
tened to the mobile home structure,
using materials that will not support
combustion. Exhaust the dryer using
flexible metal exhausting materials, and
locate in an area that provides ade-
quate make-up air. The exhaust duct
may not terminate beneath the mobile
home.
With a gas dryer, to prevent the possi-
bility of hazard due to electrical shock,
never plug dryer electric cord into a
receptacle which is not adequately
grounded and in accordance with local
and national codes. See installation
instructions with dryer.
