Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

WARN I NG" To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or a

concealed space of a building.

If using an existing vent system

• 4" (1 0.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

4" ( 10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent

Vent products can be purchased from your dealer or by calling Maytag Services.

For more information, see the "Assistance or Service" section.

Rigid metal vent

• For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.

• Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent

• Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

• Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its

final location.

• Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in

reduced airflow and poor performance.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Elbows

45 ° elbows provide better airflow than 90 ° elbows.

Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint.

Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent.

Review vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best

drying performance.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

• Use a heavy metal vent. I)o not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Clamps

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

that extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

Clamp

Exhaust

Recommended hood styles are shown here.

(10.2 em)

A. Louvered hood style

B.Box hood style

The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable.

• An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.

• Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in

the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Special provisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home

structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

• Use the following vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood

combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart.

Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best

drying performance.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90 ° turn inside the dryer. To determine

maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the chart.
