Maytag MDE17PRAYW 安装指导

1.  Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.
2.   Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound 

approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal 

tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty 

knife to press on the toe panel locks located near the two 

ends of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to 

open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

3.   Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure 

the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

4.   Test all connections by brushing on an approved 

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show  

a leak. Correct any leaks found.

The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow 

directed downward. 

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than 

through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least 

2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof. 
The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1⁄2" (13 mm) 

larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The 

main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM)  

of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design 

may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. 

The room where the dryers are located should have make-up 

air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from  

your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each 

dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to 

keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return 

air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in 

the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite 

side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from 

interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent 

should be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes 

create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating 

units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for 

periodic cleaning of the vent system.
