Maytag MLE23PD Clothes Dryer User Manual


 
It is important to make sure the room containing the appliance has an adequate air supply for gas combustion
and /or dryer operation. A window or equivalent means of ventilation must be opened in the room (an equiva-
lent form of opening includes an adjustable louvre, hinged panel or other means of ventilation that opens
directly to outside air), providing a minimum cross-section open area of 464.6 sq. cm. (72 sq. in.) for each
dryer. There also has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from other appli-
ances burning gaseous fuels, including any open fires, when operating this tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult
the other appliance manufacturers.
For gas dryer installations where dry cleaning machines are also installed, the sources of make-up air and air
movement to the dryers must be located away from the dry cleaners.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The
area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, flammable vapors or liquids.
To remove dryer from transit base, lay two of the carton posts on the floor, and carefully tip the dryer forward
on its front to lay across the carton corner posts. Grasp plastic base and remove (see figure below).
Loosen the levelling feet lock nuts and attach the vinyl feet (see figure below). Place dryer in its intended
location and adjust feet until the top is level, before tightening lock nuts.
3. LOCATION
Each dryer should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the clothes, and sufficient room
behind the dryer for the exhaust system.
This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the left side or the bottom, use the accessory
exhaust kit (see Commercial Installation Accessories). Instructions are included with the kit (see figure
below for alternative exhaust directions).
