Step 6. Dryer airflow
Effective dryer operation requires appropriate
dryer airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be
measured with a manometer, placed on the
exhaust duct approximately 1 ft. (30.5 cm)
from the final outlet.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not
exceed 7.6 mm water column.
The dryer should be checked while the dryer
is running with no load.
Step 7. Additional instructions for
installation of your dryer in a
manufactured or mobile
home
The following instructions are applicable to
installations of the dryer in a manufactured or
mobile home.
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile
home must comply with the Manufactured
Home
Construction and Safety Standards and local
codes and ordinances.
If you are uncertain whether your proposed
installation will comply with these standards,
please contact a service and installation
professional for assistance.
The following instructions apply to any
installation of the dryer in a manufactured
or mobile home:
1) The electrical connection for an electric
dryer must be a 4-wire connection. More
detailed information concerning the
electrical connection is provided at the
manual section entitled Electrical
Requirements for Electric Dryer.
2) To reduce the risk of combustion and fire,
the dryer must be vented to the outside.
3) Electric dryers may be vented to the
outside using the back, left, right, or bottom
panel.
4) The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed
securely to the manufactured or mobile
home structure, the exhaust duct must be
made of a material that will resist fire and
combustion, and it is recommended that
you use a rigid or flexible metal pipe.
5) DO NOT connect the exhaust duct with
any other exhaust duct, vent, or chimney.
6) Make sure the dryer has adequate access
to outside fresh air to ensure proper
operation. The opening for outside fresh
air must be at least 25 sq. inches (163
cm2).
7) It is important that the clearance of the duct
from any combustible construction be at
least 2 inches (5 cm), and, when venting
the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be
