This dryer is suitable for mobile home instal-
lations. The installation must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Con-
struction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280)
or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, which is
available for purchase from your dealer.
Special provisions must be made in mo-
bile homes to introduce outside air into the
dryer. The opening (such as a nearby win-
dow) should be at least twice as large as
the dryer exhaust opening.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electric Models Only
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 ordi-
nances.
The National Electric Code requires a
4-wire supply connection for homes built
after 1996, dryer circuits involved in re-
modeling after 1996, and all mobile home
installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be
obtained from: National Fire Protection As-
sociation, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single
phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC-only elec-
trical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt
electrical supply, if specified on the serial/
rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. A time-de-
lay 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 dryer, you must deter-
mine the type of electrical connection you will
be using and follow the instructions provided
for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install
with a 3-wire electrical supply connection.
The neutral ground wire is permanently
connected to the neutral conductor (white
wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed
with a 4-wire electrical supply connection,
the neutral ground wire must be removed
from the external ground conductor screw
(green screw), and secured under the neu-
tral terminal (center or white wire) of the
terminal block. When the neutral ground
wire is secured under the neutral terminal
(center or white wire) of the terminal block,
the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neu-
tral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection
of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,
see “Optional 3-wire connection,” page
2-12.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be
used when the appliance is installed in a lo-
cation where grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited. Grounding through
the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-
circuit installations,(2) mobile homes, (3)
recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where
local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductors.
