Maytag MLE24PD Instructions D'installation page 7

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°.

A. Individual dryer vent
B. Main vent
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and loads being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.

min. above
G. Roof highest point
of building
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the
roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on
the end of the vent at least 610 mm (2 ft.) above the highest part
of the building. The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter
13 mm (1/2") larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be
centered in the opening.
Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.
3. Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body
of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.
4. With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a
diamond marking.
5. Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand.
(Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw
threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 25 mm (1")
wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible. Then fit a covered foot
boot over each foot.
Now stand the dryer up.
6. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
