MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made.
Locate an area that has adequate fresh air.
A minimum of 72 in² (465 cm²) of unobstructed space is required.
Call 0330 SAMSUNG (7267864) for information on purchasing the Floor Anchoring Kit as an accessory.
All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termination securely
fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion.
The exhaust duct may not terminate underneath the mobile home.
See Exhausting section for more information.

EXHAUSTING

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an
alcove or closet.
WARNING
Never use a plastic or non-metal flexible duct.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air,
heat, and lint.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is

properly grounded.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done in accordance with local codes.
• The impedance of power supply system must be maintained under 0.0018. Not connect a dryer to
general power supply system.

GROUNDING

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.

WARNING
Your dryer has a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, sold
separately.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must
be connected to a permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal.
