INSTALLAiTION
INSTRUCTIONS
ecial
Requiremenfs
for
nufacfured
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 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 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 be at least 25 in 2 (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
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 Insfallafion
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) on the following
page.
Testing dryer heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the On/Off
button to turn the
dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner,
S--: _
NOTE
I If all air is not purged
from the gas line, the gas igniter
Imay turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
I happens, the igniter will reattempt
gas ignition
after
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the On/Off button
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.
