Maytag MED8100DW-WW Installationsanweisungen

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust 

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using 

straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal 

all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening 

devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, 

because they can catch lint.

Attach 2 ft (0.6 m) inlet hose to cold water faucet. Screw on 

coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y” 

connector to male end of the 2 ft (0.6 m) inlet hose. Screw on 

coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with 

new rubber washer. 

Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds 

turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

Attach one of the 5 ft (1.5 m) inlet hose ends to the “Y” 

connector. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other side of  

“Y” connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated 

on connector. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional 

two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

For non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the 

new inlet hoses (not supplied). Do not use old hoses.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk 

of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on 

the hoses for future reference. 

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, 

wear, or leaks are found.
