Maytag Stacked Washer/Dryer GAS Connection, GAS Ignition, Inch standpipe recommended

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 includ- ed 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.

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.
