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, you must make provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor.
Locate the dryer in an area that has adequate fresh air.
A minimum of 72 in² (465 cm²) of unobstructed space is required.
Call 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) for information about purchasing the Floor Anchoring Kit as an accessory.
All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termination securely
fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion.
The exhaust duct may not terminate underneath the mobile home.
See Exhausting section for more information.
EXHAUSTING
Exhausting the Dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
In the United States:
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,
Subject 2158A.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the duct and can
catch lint.
In Canada:
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to the local codes.
You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fi re when you install the
dryer in an alcove or closet.
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air,
heat, and lint.
