Special Requirements for
Manufactured or Mobile Homes
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must
comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or Standard
CAn/CSA Z240 Mh 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.
• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the floor.
• The electrical connection for an electric dryer must
be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information
concerning the electrical connection is provided in the
section Connecting Electric Dryers.
• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer
must be vented to the outside.
• DO nOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or
mobile home.
• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the
back, left, right, or bottom panel.
• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the
back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be
vented to the outside using the right side panel
because of the burner housing.
• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to
the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the
exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist
fire and combustion.
It is recommended that you use a rigid or flexible metal
duct.
• DO nOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other
duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.
• 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 in
2
(163 cm
2
).
• 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 installed with a clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at
the sides and back of the dryer.
• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied
with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials
necessary for proper installation.
Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
testing dryer heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ENCENDIDO/APAGADO
(ON/OFF) button to turn the dryer on, and start the
dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter
should ignite the main burner.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ENCENDIDO/APAGADO
(ON/OFF) button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer
on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after
the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.
checking airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper 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 2 ft. (60.9 cm)
from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6
inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the
dryer is running with no load.
checking levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer
to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back
and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on
the floor.
NOTE
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter
may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.
