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 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 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
2
2
be at least 25 in
(163 cm
).
• 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 Duct Condition Testing on the following page.
testing dryer heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer
on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. 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, press the ON/OFF switch 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.
