Mobile home - Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for rnobile home installations. The installation must conform to the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the

Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or

Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

Mobile home installations require:

• Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase from your dealer.

• Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer.

The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer

exhaust opening.

It is your responsibility

• lo contact a qualified electrical installer.

• lo be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and

ordinances.

The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built

after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home

installations.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

lo supply the required _ or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical

supply (ore or4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)

on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in ;'

the neutral or grounding circuit.

Do not use an extension cord.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

[b properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will

be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• [his dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The

neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)

within the dryer. [f the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the

neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green

screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal

block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal icenter

or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor.

If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,

see "Optional 3-wire connection" section.

A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a

location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding

through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile

homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding

through the neutral conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UI. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should

contain:

[] A UI listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be

type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer

must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

[] A UL listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI. listed strain

relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 fl (1.22 m) long, must have four I 0-gauge

copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground

conductor} may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white

cover.

If your outlet looks like this:

3-wir_' r_,ceptacl_, (lO-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain

relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge

copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

If connecting by direct wire:

Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or g-wire) and be:

[] Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire),

protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

[] 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum/.

[] At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

[] For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

[] For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

FireHazard

Useaheavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

WARNING: lb reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or a

concealed space of a building.

If using an existing vent system

• Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint.

• Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent.

• Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best

drying performance.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

• Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

• 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

Rigid metal vent

• For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.

• Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent

• Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

• Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final

location.

• Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in

reduced airflow and poor performance.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Elbows

45 ° elbows provide better airflow than 90 ° elbows.

Clamps

Good Better

Use clamps to seal all joints.

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

that extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

Clamp

4" ( t0.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent

• Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in

the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc./.

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect

indoors, which may result m:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,

carpets, etc.

Special provisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home

structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent

outside.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

• Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood

combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust

systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying

performance.
