2.Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

3.Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." Avoid 90 ° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5.Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. I.eave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

1.Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a

4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2.Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3.Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1.Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

2.Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: If "Y" connector can be attached directly to cold water faucet, go to Step 6. If "Y" connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. Continue with Step 3.

3.Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet.

Clothes Dryer specifications

Maytag, a well-known name in household appliances, offers a range of clothes dryers designed to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and convenience. One of the standout features of Maytag clothes dryers is their robust construction. Built with heavy-duty materials, these dryers are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while providing reliable operation.

A key technology that sets Maytag clothes dryers apart is the PowerDry system, which utilizes powerful drying features to remove moisture from clothes more efficiently. This system is designed to achieve superior drying performance with a combination of higher heat and optimized airflow, ensuring that every load is dried thoroughly. This is particularly beneficial for larger or bulkier items, such as towels and blankets that can often take longer to dry.

Additionally, Maytag dryers come equipped with advanced sensor drying technology. This feature monitors moisture levels in the drum and automatically adjusts drying time based on the load, preventing over-drying and helping fabrics maintain their quality and longevity. This not only saves energy but also eliminates the guesswork often associated with traditional drying cycles.

In terms of convenience, many Maytag dryers feature large capacity drums, allowing users to dry larger loads in a single cycle. This is particularly advantageous for families or anyone with a busy lifestyle, reducing the time spent on laundry. Some models also include a steam-generated wrinkle control option, which helps to reduce the need for ironing and keeps clothes looking fresh.

Another highlight of Maytag clothes dryers is their user-friendly controls and settings. With intuitive displays and a range of drying cycles, from normal to delicate, users can easily select the appropriate option for each type of fabric. Many models also feature a reverse-a-door functionality, allowing for flexible installation based on laundry room layouts.

Energy efficiency is another important consideration, and Maytag dryers often incorporate eco-friendly options to minimize energy usage while still delivering powerful performance. With a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Maytag stands out in the market, providing long-lasting and efficient drying solutions for households everywhere. Whether for everyday laundry or special items, Maytag clothes dryers offer a combination of strength, technology, and convenience that meets diverse laundry needs.
