MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
1. Dryer
MUST
be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath
the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not sup-
port combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16
cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
preferred.
2. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath
the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system
MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with the termination se-
curely fastened to the mobile home structure.
3. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provi-
sion must be made for outside make up air. This provision
is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust
outlet.
4. This dryer
MUST
be fastened to the floor. Mobile Home
Installation Kit No. 346764 is available from your dealer.
5. Refer to pages 3 and 4 for other important venting re-
quirements.
6. Installation
MUST
conform to current Manufactured Home
Construction & Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regu-
lation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-80) or when such standard is
not applicable, with American National Standard for Mo-
bile Homes.
The dryer is designed under ANSI Z 21.5.1 or
ANSI/UL2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 (latest editions) for
HOME
USE
only.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC Dryer
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer.
Failure to follow these instructions can create electrical
shock and/or a fire hazard.
This appliance MUST be properly
grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not prop-
erly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper
grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with this
dryer.
Some extension cords are not designed to withstand
the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the
dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord
to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to
the pre-installation requirements in this manual for the proper
power cord to be purchased.
A U.L. approved strain relief must be
installed onto power cord.
If the strain relief is not attached,
the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any
movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired recep-
tacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice
versa).
A chemical reaction occurs between copper and alu-
minum and can cause electrical shorts.
The proper wiring
and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a cop-
per wired receptacle.
NOTE:
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have
longer drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.
