Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements This laundry center 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 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.

Standpipe drain system - wall or floor (views A & B)

The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than

17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (5 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Alternate Parts."

The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

Laundry tub drain system (view C)

The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top of the laundry tub must be at least 34" (86.4 cm) above the floor

and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

Floor drain system (view D)

The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be purchased separately. See "Alternate Parts."

The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (71 cm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.

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. 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 laundry center, 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. Ifthe dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical

supply connection, the neutral ground wire 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 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.

• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

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:

4-wire receptacle (!4-30R)

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 washer/dryer: This washer/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 washer/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 washer/dryer: This washer/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 washer/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 washer/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.
