Special Electrical
Requirements
(For Mobile or Manufactured 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 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well as
all new construction after January 1, 1996.
• 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, semi-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
sq. in (163 cm²).
• 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 should be installed with a
clearance of at least 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 must 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).
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer
starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.
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.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. 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 inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked
while the dryer is running with no load.
