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 3280 {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 on 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
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed
space of a building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amount 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 (10.2 cm) 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 shall be used.
• See “Ducting Requirements” in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length and
number of bends shall be used.
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct
and catch lint
In Canada:
• All dryer must be exhausted to the outside.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches(10.2 cm ) in diameter.
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically indentified for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer shall be used.
• See “Ducting Requirements” in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length and
number of bends.
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct
and catch lint
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to the local codes.
You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire 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.
