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.
Electrical Requirements
■ A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply is required.
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure
fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.
■ Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with 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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Venting Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building.
If using an existing vent system
■ Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure
exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.
■ Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy
metal vent.
■ Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if
necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid
or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.
If this is a new vent system
Vent material
■ Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used.
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
Rigid metal vent
■ For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are
recommended.
■ Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent
■ Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for
cleaning.
■ Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final location.
■ Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking
that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
