Maytag MC2 - Manual (Page 11)

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12 inches above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in, if desired.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.
Dryers may be positioned side wall to side wall. However, allowances should be made for opening and
closing of the control and lint doors. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about two (2) feet away from
the nearest rear obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service. Refer to the previous
illustrationfor details.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY
For additional information pertaining to 100 lb. model see page 18.
30, 50, & 75 lb. Models: Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure
proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a
general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of
one (1) sq. ft. is required for each dryer. If registers or louvers are installed over the openings, then the
area must be increased. It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer.
Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set-up in such a manner the
make-up air is distributed equally to the dryers. For example, for a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2)
openings measuring 2' x 2' (4 square feet) is acceptable. Refer to the following illustration for details.
For the 100 lb. model, see page 18.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at
excessive altitudes or predominantly low-pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry eleaning solvent fumes.
Make-up air that is eontaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable
damage to motors and other dryer components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
