Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

You will need

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements."

A separate 30-amp circuit.

If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See "Electrical Requirements."

Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer; and water pressure of 20-100

psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from your washer using the "Y" connector provided.

A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 Ibs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (2.5 cm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. Clothes may not

tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic sensor cycle. This can result in longer drying times.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

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.
