Maytag MEDP475EW Installationsanweisungen

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting, 

and read “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 

reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the “Use and 

Care Guide.”

If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with 

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

 

■

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt 

minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be  

at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the  

dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with 

upturned ends.

 

■

A UL listed strain relief.

 

■

A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.  

See “Venting Requirements.”

 

■

A separate 30 amp circuit.

 

■

If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical 

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

See “Electrical Requirements.”

 

■

A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) 

of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion 

appliance should also be considered.

 

■

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

dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [25 mm], install Extended  

Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810.) If not level, clothes  

may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may  

not operate correctly.

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 cycle. Drying times can be extended.

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.

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door  

to open fully.

*Most installations require a minimum 5½" (140 mm) clearance   

 behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting  

 Requirements.”

The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing 

allowed.

 

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 

installation and servicing.

 

■

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and 

floor moldings.

 

■

Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is 

recommended to reduce noise transfer.

 

■

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation 

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.  

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings  

are acceptable.

 

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

*Additional spacing recommended
