Maytag MGDB855D Installationsanweisungen

(Not supplied with dryer)

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. 

See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” 

before purchasing parts.

Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware 

available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased 

your dryer. For further information, please refer to the “Assistance 

or Service” section in your “Use and Care Guide.”

 (Not supplied with dryer) 

Refer to your “Use and Care Guide” for information about 

accessories available for your dryer.

 

■

A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.  

See “Venting Requirements.”

 

■

A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and 

30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.

 

■

If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet  

located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.  

See “Electrical Requirements.”

 

■

Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg).  

Also consider weight of companion appliance.

 

■

Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 

dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not 

tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not 

operate correctly.

 

■

For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) 

above floor. 

 

■

Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. 

(1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 

psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply for your 

washer using the “Y” connector and short hose which are 

provided.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where  

it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below  

45° F (7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to  

shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer  

drying times.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the 

same closet as a dryer.

For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of 

installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances and 

clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be 

large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides 

of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door 

is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.

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.

NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 6" (152 mm) 

clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See  

“Venting Requirements.”
