Mobile Home – Additional Installation Requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation 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).
Mobile home installations require special parts (listed following),
which are available for purchase from your local dealer or service
center. For further information, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
®
(1-800-469-4663).
Stacked washers and dryers must be securely fastened to the
floor.
Parts needed:
■
Mobile Home Installation Kit, Part Number 346764, needs to
be purchased to accomplish this. Order two kits to enable
you to secure both the front and the back of the unit to
the floor.

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.
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
