Maytag MLG-30PDA, Installation Manual

If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds
the above noted specifications, the cross-sectional area of
the ductwork may need to be increased.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross
section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.
Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each
dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a
“common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than
45° in the direction of airflow. The main duct should be
tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual
10-inch (25.4 cm) duct (when dryer common exhaust is used)
is added.
IMPORTANT: No more than four dryers or eight tumblers
total should be connected to one main common duct.
The main duct may be any shape provided that the minimum
cross-sectional area is maintained. The illustration below
shows the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer
venting. These figures must be increased if the main duct
run from the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is
unusually long (over 30 feet [9.1 meters]) or has numerous
elbows (more than one) in it.

Electrical Requirements
All electrical connections must be made by a properly
licensed and competent electrician. This is to ensure that
the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local,
state, and national regulations or codes of the country of
destination. In the absence of such codes, all electrical
connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to
the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or
ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this
manual can result in personal injury or component failure.
NOTE: Component failure due to improper installation will
void the warranty.
Each pocket should be connected to an independently
protected branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with
copper wire only. Do not use aluminum wire. The copper
conductor wire/cable must be of proper ampacity and
insulation in accordance with electric codes for making all
service connections.
NOTE: The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to each
pocket, do not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will
void the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in
specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
IMPORTANT: A separate protected circuit must be
provided to each pocket.
It is necessary to have a power disconnect for each pocket.
These disconnects must be located within 30 feet (9
meters) of the dryer and also be identified as being one of
two power sources supplying a dryer.
The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown
on the data label.

208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering,
specify exact voltage.
When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current
limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse
value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to listed
appliance amp draw data.
Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) motor curve type
ONLY. For others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to
appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.
