Mobile Home - Additional Location 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 245, HUD Part 280).

Mobile home installations require:

■ Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for

purchase from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.

■ 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

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.

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.

■ 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.

■ 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 UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

■ A UL 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:

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.

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.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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.

B. Flexible metal vent or rigid metal vent

C. Elbow

Alternate installations for close clearances

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

A. Over-the-top installation (also available with

one offset elbow)

B. Periscope installation

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

Install Leveling Legs

■ Use the Vent system chart below 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.

Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.

See “Determine vent path.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from

the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel).

Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.

3. Start to screw the legs into the holes by hand. Use a wrench

to finish turning the legs. They should stick out about 1" (2.5 cm).

4. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each

of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final position. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
