MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (part 280), 1975} (for the United States), or CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada).

When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. An anchor bracket kit #12002643 is available with instructions (see Accessories). Locate in an area that has adequate make up

unobstructed opening is required.

All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the

to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the mobile home.

W A R N I N G

THE DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTSIDE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE WHEN INSTALLED.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

An appliance installed in a closet shall have no other fuel-burning appliance installed in the same closet.

Each opening area in the door must have a minimum of 36 square inches. These openings must not be obstructed. (Louvered door with equivalent air openings is acceptable.)

EXHAUST

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.

In the United States and Canada:

• All gas and electric dryers must be exhausted to the outside.

Outside the U.S. and Canada:

• Refer to local codes.

Plastic flexible duct can kink,

sag, be punctured, reduce air flow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation. USE A MINIMUM OF 4-INCH (10.2 cm) DIAMETER RIGID ALUMINUM OR RIGID GALVANIZED STEEL DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly. If flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if flexible metal duct is bent too sharp.

W A R N I N G

PLASTIC OR NONMETAL FLEXIBLE DUCT PRESENTS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NEVER USE PLASTIC OR NONMETAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. IF

YOUR EXISTING DUCTWORK IS PLASTIC,

NONMETAL OR COMBUSTIBLE, REPLACE IT WITH METAL. USE ONLY METAL EXHAUST DUCT THAT WILL NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION TO INSURE THE CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND LINT.

Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings or other concealed spaces. Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation and may collect lint. Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent backdrafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

When possible, in order to avoid lint build-up. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.

If exhaust ductwork must run through an unhea should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

If an existing exhaust system is to be used with your new dryer, you must be sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state and national codes.

• That plastic flexible duct is not used. To completely inspect and clean all lint accumulation from the
