Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile 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). 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

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To 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 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.

• To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 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.

3"*

Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions

provided for it here.

• If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire connection" section.

3"*

This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is

permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical

supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed from the external ground conductor screw (green screw), and

secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured

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

conductor. 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 your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

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

cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-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-wire receptacle (10-30R)

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 3-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

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.

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 on the power

supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
