Location Requirements - Maytag MDG17CSBGW Installation Instructions Manual

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.
You will need:
An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of
■
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
■
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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 25 mm (1") 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.
Do not install on carpet.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. This
dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding
door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of
the dryer. For recessed area and closet installations, minimum
clearances can be found on the warning label on the rear of the
dryer or in "Dimensions/Clearances."
The installation spacing is in millimeters and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes
and ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air
opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors
with equivalent air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.
