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:

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

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 ordinances. 

 

The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply 

connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved 

in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations. 

 

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: 

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, 

Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 

 

60 Hz, AC only electrical 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-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect 

to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the 

neutral or grounding circuit.
