Leveling - Maytag MDE28PDCZW Installation Instructions Manual

Multiple Dryer Venting
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
■
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a
■
commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the
vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into
the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main
vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.
Air ow
Air flow
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.

1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top
edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level,
tip dryer and adjust legs up or down as shown in Step 3,

2. Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all
four legs are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side
to side. If dryer rocks, go to Step 3 and adjust leveling legs.

3. If dryer is not level, use a 1" or 25 mm open-end or adjustable
wrench to turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to lower the
dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck levelness of
dryer and that all four legs are firmly in contact with the floor.
Repeat as needed.
HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about
4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will
support weight of dryer.
