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.

Electrical Requirements

■

A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply is required.

■

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure
fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.

■

Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.

■

Do not use an extension cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 is equipped with 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.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting Requirements

WARNING:

To 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, attic, crawlspace, 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. Only rigid

or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

■

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

■

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent

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.
