ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
An appliance installed in a closet shall have no other fuel-burning
appliance installed in the same closet.
Each opening area in the door must have a minimum of 36 square
inches. These openings must not be obstructed. (Louvered door
with equivalent air openings is acceptable.)
W A R N I N G
THE DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE
OUTSIDE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE WHEN
INSTALLED.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform
to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD (part 280), 1975} (for the United States), or CSA
Standards Z240 (for Canada).
When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for
anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. An anchor
bracket kit #12002643 is available with instructions (see
Accessories). Locate in an area that has adequate make up
air. A minimum of 25 square inches (161.3 cm sq.) of
unobstructed opening is required.
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
beneath the mobile home.
EXHAUST
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of
lint and moisture from being blown into the room.
In the United States and Canada:
• All gas and electric dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to local codes.
Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce air flow,
extend drying times and affect dryer operation. USE A MINIMUM
OF 4-INCH (10.2 cm) DIAMETER RIGID ALUMINUM OR RIGID
GALVANIZED STEEL DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. Ducts larger
than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint
accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly. If
flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet
metal wall. Do not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious
blockage can result if flexible metal duct is bent too sharp.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE
INSTALLATIONS: Sides – 0 in. Rear – 2 in. Top – 17 in. Closet
Front – 2 in. The closet front must have a total unobstructed
air opening of 72 sq. in. minimum. A louvered door with
equivalent air opening is acceptable.
W A R N I N G
PLASTIC OR NONMETAL FLEXIBLE DUCT
PRESENTS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NEVER
USE PLASTIC OR NONMETAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. IF
YOUR EXISTING DUCTWORK IS PLASTIC,
NONMETAL OR COMBUSTIBLE, REPLACE IT WITH
METAL. USE ONLY METAL EXHAUST DUCT THAT
WILL NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION TO INSURE THE
CONTAINMENT OF EXHAUST AIR, HEAT AND LINT.
