Gas Dryer Installation Requirements - Maytag MDG18CMNAW Installation Instructions Manual

Location Requirements
Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or
recessed area.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of
■
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements. "
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets
or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
Gas dryer installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
■
to be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
■
and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
■
moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer
■
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
■
permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets,
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and
■
bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit
adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See
"Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" below for
minimum spacing requirements.
