Maytag MGDB755DW Installationsanweisungen

Natural gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with Natural Gas. It is design-

certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases 

with appropriate conversion.

 

■

Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas  

in your home. Burner information is located on the rating  

plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does  

not agree with the type of gas available, please reference the 

“Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide.

■  

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: 

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or 
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock 
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. 
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment- 
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must 
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes 
and ordinances.

WARNING: 

Improper connection of the equipment- 

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative 
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is 
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with 
the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualified 

technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas 

specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different 

gas without consulting your gas company.

Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

 

■

If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas 

connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association 

or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid 

gas supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT 

adapter fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and 

the dryer gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.

Approved aluminum or copper tubing

 

■

Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible 

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas 

connection to the dryer. 

 

■

1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.

 

■

3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for 

lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier 

permit. 

 

■

If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

 

■

Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and  

a different size adapter fitting.

 

■

If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP 

compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of 

the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), use larger pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP  

gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within  

six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National

to reach for opening and closing. 

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in 

accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane  

Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual 

manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m)
