IMPORTANT TO OWNER

Retain these instructions for future reference.

This new Maytag appliance is designed to serve you dependably for many years. However, it cannot do so unless provided with sufficient electrical power, suitable exhausting and if a gas model, adequate gas supply. We urge you to read this carefully to make sure all requirements are met.

Operating instructions, safety precautions and your warranty are in the accessory package with each appliance. Read the operating instructions carefully.

NOTE: A wiring diagram for the dryer is located on the inside of the dryer access panel. A wiring diagram for the washer is located on the inside of the washer cabinet.

UNCRATING

To remove carton, cut around bottom of carton on or below dotted line. Cut down each corner of carton (vertically) and “peel” carton away from stacked washer/dryer. Fold carton material for removal. Check the unit for shipping damage.

Remove the tape between the washer cabinet and the dryer stand. Disconnect the control wire harness which leads from the dryer to the washer. You will need to depress the locking tabs to separate the connector.

Untape and open washer lid. Remove installation accessory package, fill hoses and close lid.

Leave tub block in place until installation is complete. Be sure to remove tub block after installation is complete and before use!

Using the carton corner posts stacked in pairs, lay the washer on the posts on the left side.

Remove the crate base wires from the carton base. Use pliers or screwdriver to pry wires from wood. (Do not kick the shipping base off the washer.)

Run washer rear legs all the way up into the rear corner brackets. Lock in place by tightening lock nuts up against base. Leave front legs loose for leveling later.

Install the vinyl feet on the washer legs.

From the back of the stacked washer/dryer, grasp the dryer and stand. Pull dryer and stand back and off of washer and shipping base. As dryer and stand are pulled back, carefully drop dryer stand rear legs to the floor before clearing shipping base. (Do not drop dryer and stand off of shipping base!)

Lay a piece of the shipping cardboard along the bottom edge of the cabinet and stand the washer back up.

(The cardboard protects the lower edge at the cabinet and the floor when standing the washer back up.)

NOTE: With the rear washer legs adjusted up, cabinet corner brackets in the rear can touch and damage floor if caution is not used when moving washer.

The dryer and stand are installed first.

Necessary electrical, gas (if gas stacked washer/ dryer) and vent connections are made as dryer and stand are put in position and leveled. Let’s first look at what facilities are needed.

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 allowance for more clearance than the minimum installation clearances as shown.

Opening

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 important 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 clearance 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.

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.)

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).

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 fasten 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.

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

PROPER OPERATION.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and the area around the clothes dryer should be kept free of lint.

DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLE

LIQUIDS OR MATERIALS NEAR A DRYER.

It is recommended that the dryer be exhausted to the outside using 4 inch rigid or flexible metal ducting.

When located in a bedroom, bathroom or closet, the dryer must be exhausted to the outside.

The stacked washer/dryer can only be exhausted out the back.

A 4 inch vent should be installed to accept the exhaust from the dryer.

To permit sufficient air circulation under the exhaust hood, there should be no less than a 12 inch clearance between the bottom of the exhaust hood and the ground. When possible the exhaust hood should not exhaust directly into a window well. DO NOT terminate exhaust under a building.

NOTE: Where the exhaust hood is to be installed through masonry, a special masonry saw is necessary to cut the hole.

Install the exhaust hood and secure with screws to the outside wall and seal with caulking compound.

DIRECT EXHAUST

An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust pipe can be installed directly through an outside wall. This would be the shortest and most direct exhaust method.

To exhaust up, route standard 4 inch diameter ducting up the recess in the cabinet back using the furnished retaining strap and screws to get nearly flush to wall installation. To exhaust to the side or down, install the furnished 4 inch long duct with four “S” clips to the inner dryer exhaust, then use standard 4 inch ducting. This will position the dryer about 4-1/2 inches away from the wall. Flush-to-wall side exhausting may be done by going above the dryer before going sideways.

When exhausting down, wallboard can be removed from the wall to get the dryer closer to the wall by placing the exhaust pipe between studs.

Check local codes for required exhaust clearances.

Install ductwork from the dryer to exhaust hood.

All joints must be made so exhaust end of one pipe is inside the intake end of next pipe. On flexible metal ductwork, all joints should be secured with a clamp. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling rigid ducting. Joints should be taped.

FLEXIBLE DUCTWORK

LIMITATIONS

Flexible metal ductwork should not exceed 34 feet of straight 4 inch ducting. The exhaust hood is equivalent to 8 feet of duct and each 90° bend is equivalent to 8 feet. As an example, if an exhaust hood is used and two 90° bends, the maximum straight run would be 10 feet.

NOTE: If the radius of a bend with 4 inch duct is

12 inches or greater, the bend can be considered a straight run. No more than three 90° bends should be used in any run with an exhaust hood.

If flexible metal exhaust ducting is used, the short extension supplied with this machine can be secured to the dryer exhaust with the clips and the flexible metal duct can be clamped to the short extension.

printed in U.S.A.

RIGID DUCTWORK

LIMITATIONS

Rigid metal ductwork should not exceed 54 feet of straight 4 inch duct. Each 90° elbow and the exhaust hood should be considered equivalent to 8 feet of straight ductwork.

For example, if an exhaust hood and two 90° elbows are used, the maximum straight duct allowed would be 26 feet. Not more than three

90° elbows should be used in any rigid ductwork run with an exhaust hood. Four feet of straight duct should be allowed between 90° elbows.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

WATER SUPPLY

The water supply to the washer unit should be capable of providing both adequate water pressure and water temperature. The pressure should fall within the range of 20 pounds per square inch to 120 pounds per square inch when the washer is filling. Note that this is flow pressure and not static pressure.

Low water pressure will result in slow fill and could result in a water valve sticking open after a fill.

The recommended temperature of the hot water as delivered to the washer should be 140° F.

Warm water temperature is a result of the mix of the hot and cold water supplies.

The final temperature is dependent on both the pressure and the temperatures of the hot and cold supplies. The desired temperature for warm is between 100° F. and 105° F.

DRAIN FACILITIES

The drain must be capable of accepting a flow rate of approximately 20 gallons per minute. An inside diameter of at least 1 1/2 inches is required.

36 inch standpipe recommended

If standpipe is less than 36 inches (or floor drain) – drain hose should be routed through the clip to raise hose to the proper height, use clip tie to securely hold drain hose in clip.

Installation accessory kits are available for other types of drain facility conditions…see Washer

Installation Accessory Kits table on page 13.

The use of a laundry built-in wall box can greatly simplify installation.

If the faucets and/or drain is located to either side of the stacked washer/dryer, openings are located in the dryer stand uprights to allow hoses and power cords to be passed through.

This is to allow installation against the back wall.

(This is dependent on venting used.)

GAS CONNECTION

Gas operated dryers are equipped with a burner orifice for operation on NATURAL GAS. If the dryer is to be operated on LP GAS, it must be converted correctly for safety and proper performance. Conversion kits from NATURAL to

LPG, or LPG to NATURAL are available through your local Maytag dealer. If other conversions are required, check with local gas utility for specific information concerning conversion requirement. NOTE: The conversion should always be performed by a qualified service technician.

NOTE: If the dryer is to be converted in

Canada, the conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in accordance with the requirements of the CAN-

B149.1 and CAN1-B149.2 installation code.

A 1/2 inch gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8 inch gas line on the dryer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing the gas line, route it so that it will not interfere with the washer once the washer is pushed back into position. It is important to make sure the gas line does not come into contact with either the washer drain hose or any part of the washer.

NOTE: A 3/8 inch x 1 inch pipe nipple is included to adapt valve connection from a 3/8 inch female to a 3/8 inch male I.P.S. connection.

Additionally, a 1/8 inch N.P.T. (National Pipe

Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

Gas Line

1/8" NPT Plug

Dryer

Gas Line

Refer to your local gas utility or plumbing contractor should you have questions on the installation of the plugged tapping.

The dryer and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2

P.S.I.G.

The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 P.S.I.G.

The gas supply should be connected to the dryer using pipe joint compound or a Teflon tape on male thread connections. NOTE: Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.

Turn on gas supply and open the shut-off at the gas valve.

DO NOT use an open flame to

check for gas leaks. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles occur, tighten the connections and recheck.

NOTE: As a courtesy, many local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation. Check with your utility to see if this service is provided in your area.

GAS IGNITION

This dryer uses an automatic ignition system to light the main burner when the dryer is turned on.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ODD CYCLE OPERATION

This Maytag stacked washer/dryer is manufactured for operation on 60 Hz approved electrical service. It is not designed for use on 50 Hz AC electrical service and conversion of the product from 60 to 50 cycle operation is not recommended. For additional information on 50 cycle products, write, MAYTAG INTERNATIONAL,

INC., 8700 Bryn Mawr Ave., Chicago, Illinois

LUBRICATION

No routine lubrication is required to maintain the stacked washer/dryer. In the event something does need attention, contact an authorized

Maytag dealer or servicer.

FINISH

All the cabinetry and external finishes are protected against rust to keep product looking well for many years. Cleaning and waxing will provide additional protection to these finishes.

The washer top has a porcelain finish.

Since porcelain is “glass” bonded to metal, it is very durable.

Avoid damage from sharp blows of objects or tools used around and in the appliance.

Clean the control panel with a soft damp cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners that would scratch surface. A coat of household wax will reduce the chance of scratches on the control panel surface.

CAUTION: If “spilled” or used improperly, bleaches and other strong laundering chemicals can permanently spot or stain finishes unless wiped up immediately.

Aerosol pretreated products can also damage finish on control panel. When using these products on garments placed in the stacked washer/dryer, it is advisable to avoid control panel area with the overspray.

WATER DAMAGE FROM

FLOODING

In the event the stacked washer/dryer is exposed to water from flooding, call your local

Maytag dealer before using. Always unplug the appliance and have a qualified technician inspect the appliance before any attempt is made to operate the unit. Never wash product inside and out with a garden hose or pressure cleaning system.
