Maytag MDG120 - Manual (Page 14)

These electrical connections are made at the
terminal block located in the electric service/
relay box at the rear, upper left hand corner of
the dryer. To gain access into this service box,
the service cover (upper back guard)
must be
removed.
GROUNDING
Grounding (earth) connections must be pro­
vided and installed in accordance with state
and local codes. In the absence of these codes,
grounding
must conform to applicable require­
ments of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in CANADA, the
Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA
C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The ground
connection may be to a proven earth ground at
the location service panel.
NOTE: A grounding connection (terminal lug) is
provided in the dryer’s electrical service/relay
box at the rear.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is
suggested that a separate ground wire (sized
per local codes) be connected from the ground
connection of the dryer to a grounded cold
water pipe.
DO NOT ground to a gas or hot
water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must
have metal to metal connections all the way to
electrical ground. If there are any non-metallic
interruptions, such as a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they
must be jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and
securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper
operation, the dryer must be grounded. For
proper operation of the microprocessor (com­
puter), an earth (zero) ground
is required.
NOTE: Grounding via metallic electrical conduit
(pipe) is not recommended.
GAS INFORMATION
it is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing
connections made by a qualified professional to
assure that the gas plumbing installation is
adequate and conforms with local and state
regulations or codes. In the absence of such
codes, ALL plumbing connections, material,
and workmanship must conform to the appli­
cable requirements of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 LATEST EDITION, or in
CANADA, the Canadian Installation Codes

orCAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P.Gas)or LAT­
EST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these
codes or ordinances, and/or the requirements
stipulated in this manual, can result in personal
injury and improper operation of the dryer.
The dryer and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of V
2 psig
(3.5 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its indi­
vidual manual shut-off valve during any pres­
sure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than V
2 psig (3.5
kPa).
IMPORTANT: Failure to isolate or disconnect
dryer from supply as noted can cause irrepa­
rable damage to the gas valves VOIDING THE
WARRANTY.
WARNING: FIRE or EXPLOSION COULD
RESULT.
GAS SUPPLY
The gas dryer installation must meet the Ameri­
can National Standard: National Fuel Gas Code
