Description
Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation.
Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A closet door
must have a supply air vent of 80 sq. in. (517 sq. cm) minimum.
Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer with a
must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly distributed. The
dryer must not rock.
Dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather.
Dryer needs a 3- or 4-wire 120/240 volt, 30 amp, 60 hertz, 1 phase electrical supply.
Refer to serial plate for specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located in control
hood.
Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest
route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer exhaust
MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use plas-
tic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Static pressure in the dryer's exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches
(1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a
manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the
dryer.
For the best exhaust system:
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.
• Use 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• Use duct tape on all joints.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
