Dryer Exhaust - Maytag MLG19PD Installation Instructions Manual

Washer Door:
1. Swing door fully open and remove the two screws securing the hinges to the front panel.
2. Lift door slightly and pull door out of plastic front shroud. Press the plastic shroud toward the cabinet,
should the hinge bind. Set the door aside.
3. Transfer the hinge hole covers to the opposite side of the door opening.
4. Transfer the hinges to the opposite side of the door, while transferring the colored screws to the
previous hinge location. Position the hinge pin to the outside of the door panel.
5. Reposition the door into the plastic shroud and seat the hinges fully into the plastic shroud. Secure
the hinges to the front panels with the hinge screws.
6. Close the door and run the washer through a wash cycle to check for leaks. If leaks occur, reposition
the hinges to allow more contact between the lower edge of the door liner and the door boot.

6. Dryer exhaust

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside air. This is necessary for gas combustion (on gas models),
and will also prevent large amounts of moisture and some lint from being blown into the room.
WARNING: Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard. NEVER USE PLASTIC
OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal or combustible,
replace it with metal. Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying
times and affect dryer operation.
USE A MINIMUM OF 100mm (4") DIAMETER
RIGID ALUMINUM OR RIGID GALVANIZED
STEEL DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. Ducts
larger than 100mm can result in increased lint
build-up. Any lint build-up should be cleaned
regularly. If flexible metal must be used in some
areas, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall.
Do not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall.
Serious blockage can result if flexible metal duct is
bent too sharply. Never install any type of flexible
duct in walls, ceiling or other concealed spaces.
Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as
possible. Exhaust systems longer than
recommended can extend drying times, affect
dryer operation and may collect lint. Secure joints
with proper duct tape. Do not use screws.
DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL,
CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR OTHER
CONCEALED SPACE IN A BUILDING, GAS
VENT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE
DRYER.
