Installation Requirements - Maytag Commercial MDG28PD Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Location
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 level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
ʼn
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
A sturdy and solid floor to support the dryer with a total
ʼn
weight (load) of 204 kg (450 lbs).
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
ʼn
be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
ʼn
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
ʼn
floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the dryer is
ʼn
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
ʼn
permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: For installation in Australia and New Zealand,
ʼn
install dryer in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1 and local
governance codes.
Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back
ʼn
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. The
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
in such a way that a full opening of the dryer door is restricted.
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 of the door shall be as depicted in the
diagram below. 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.
NOTE: For installation in Australia and New Zealand, refer
to AS/NZS 5601.1 for ventilation requirements.
NOTE: This dryer is not intended to be placed on top
of a washer.
