Gas Connection; Water Supply Connection - Maytag MLG19PD Installation Instructions Manual

NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) the maximum
electricity supply system impedance to which the electric dryer/washer should be
connected is declared to be 0.247
Some local wiring regulations require connection of an additional earth bond
connection to the appliance. An earthing kit (Part No. 12001875) is available.
It contains the earth wire, clamp, earth screw and washer. The wire should be
connected to the earth (ground) terminal on the rear panel of the dryer using the
additional screw and washer shown at right.

8. Gas connection

WARNING: The gas dryer is factory-set with a burner orifice for Natural Gas supply
(see Technical Specification). It may be converted for use with LP (butane or
propane) gas using the correct conversion kit (see Accessories). Full instructions
are supplied with the kit. Before installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure, and the adjustment of the appliance are
compatible.
Gas installation must be carried out in accordance with any local or national gas
installation regulations by a suitably qualified person.
Each dryer gas inlet connection is 3/8" NPT thread. An adapter is included for
conversion to ISO.7-1 thread. A 12.5mm (1/2") gas supply line is recommended for
each dryer. For multiple unit installations the size of the main gas line must be
adequate for the number of dryers (see Technical Specification for gas flow rate
per dryer).
Gas connection to the dryer must be made by means of a flexible gas hose suitable for the appliance
and gas category (a fixed gas pipe could be damaged should the machine vibrate). A means of restraint
should be used on the appliance to prevent straining of the gas supply when the appliance is moved.
Remove the gas inlet connection thread protective cap. Apply jointing compound or approximately 1-1/2
turns of PTFE sealing tape over all threaded connections, and securely tighten (Note: jointing compound
used must be resistant to LPG).
Check for leaks as directed by local or national regulations. DO NOT use a naked flame to check for gas
leaks. A pressure measurement tapping is provided on the gas valve within each dryer, accessible after
removal of the front service access panel (disconnect from electricity supply before removing this panel).
NOTE: All gas dryers should be disconnected from gas supply before any over-pressure testing of the
gas supply system.
The gas dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning
pilot light.

9. Water supply connection

Cold water supply:
Hot water supply:
These water pressures are required to correctly fill the washer in the proper time. Pressures of less than
0.2 MPa may cause a malfunction in the machine water valve, and it may also not shut off completely.
Fit water supply stop-taps to allow easy disconnection of fill hoses. Always turn taps off when washer is
not in use (make sure they are accessible).
