ALCOVE OR CLOSET
INSTALLATION
When the stacked washer/dryer is to be installed
in an alcove area or a closet, clearance should
be provided around the unit for an adequate air
supply and for ease of installation and servicing.
An appliance installed in a closet shall have no
other fuel burning appliance installed in the
same closet, such as gas furnace, water heater
or space heater, etc.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to
minimize excessive lint accumulation and to
maintain good drying. We recommend allow-
ance for more clearance than the minimum
installation clearances as shown.
Exhaust the dryer using metal exhausting
material or exhaust kit (see your authorized
Maytag dealer), and locate in an area that
provides adequate make-up air. The exhaust
duct may not terminate beneath the mobile home.
MAKE-UP AIR
For proper operation of the dryer unit it is impor-
tant to make sure the location has adequate
make-up air. This is especially important in any
confined area such as bathroom or closet. There
must be at least two 36 square inch unobstructed
openings for intake air. This can be a louvered
door or other equivalent opening.
On gas dryer units in particular, adequate clear-
ance as noted on the dryer minimum clearance
label should be maintained to insure enough air
for combustion and the proper operation of the
dryer. The area where located must not
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating
air. When installing a Maytag Stacked Washer/
Dryer the following minimum clearances to
combustible surfaces must be maintained.
Clearance to wall, sides – 0 inches, top – 6 inches,
front – 1/2 inch to washer, rear – 0 inches with an
outside exhaust, 4 inches with an inside exhaust
(not recommended). See Exhausting section and
Installation Accessories for exhaust kits.
SERVICE ACCESS
Location should allow access to the front of the
unit for washer and dryer service. Access must
also be available to two screws at the top front
corners of the dryer front panel (on the top).
EXHAUSTING
The free air flow rate is approximately 180 cubic
feet per minute. The vent system carries lint and
moisture away and to the outside. The length of
the venting and the number of elbows affect the
air flow rate and the efficiency of the exhaust system.
DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL,
CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A CONCEALED
SPACE OF A BUILDING, VENT CONNECTION,
GAS VENT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT
EXPELLED BY THE DRYER. FOR THE SAME
REASON, WE RECOMMEND ONLY METAL
EXHAUST DUCT TO MINIMIZE RESTRICTED
AIR FLOW AND RELIABLY INSURE THE
CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND

Each opening area must have a minimum of 36
square inches. These openings must not be
obstructed. (Louvered door with equivalent air
opening is acceptable.)
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Installation of Maytag dryers certified by the
American Gas Association and bearing a label
stating they are suitable for installation in mobile
homes, must conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24
CFR, Part 32-80.
When installing this appliance in a mobile home,
provisions for anchoring the dryer should be
made. An anchor bracket kit is available to fas-
ten dryer stand to the floor. Instructions for
installing the anchor brackets are contained in
each kit. (See your authorized Maytag dealer.)
All mobile home installations must be exhausted
to the outside with the exhaust duct termination
securely fastened to the mobile home structure,
using materials that will not support combustion.
