Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements
This washer/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.
(14cm)
3" (7=_¢m)
* Most installations require a minimum 51/2in. (14 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting
Requirements."
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet
installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacings
allowed.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
The washer/dryer can be installed using the standpipe drain
system (floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor
drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.I
See "Alternate Parts."
Standpipe drain system - wall or floor (view I & 2)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of
2 in. (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less
than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2 in. (5 cm) diameter to 1 in. (2.5
cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Alternate
Parts."
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39 in. (99 cm) high and
no higher than 96 in. (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.
Laundry tub drain system (view 3}
The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top
of the laundry tub must be at least 34 in. (86.4 cm) above the floor
and no higher than 96 in. (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system (view 4)
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 in. (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, 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-ampere 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 washer/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 cabinet
ground connector to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
Connection."
• This washer/dryer is manufactured with a 3-wire, cabinet-
ground conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (white or
center wire) of the wiring harness at the terminal block.
• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the washer/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 approved power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
• A UL approved 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 approved strain relief.
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 approved strain relief. The 4-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4, 10-gauge solid
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 approved strain relief. The 3-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, 10-gauge solid
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. Hnthe event of malfunc-
tion 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 con-
ductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment_grounding terminal or lead on the
washer/dryer.
WARNING: Hmproper 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 wiiI not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
