Drain System; Electrical Requirements - 240 Volt Models - Kenmore 110.81422 Use & Care Manual

Mobile Home – Additional Installation Requirements
This Laundry Center is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured Home
Standard, CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for
■
purchase from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce
■
outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby
window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust
opening.

DRAIN SYSTEM

The Laundry Center can be installed using the standpipe drain
system (floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor
drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.
See "Alternate Parts".
Standpipe drain system – wall or floor (views A & B)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2"
(51 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than
17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (51 mm) diameter to 1" (25 mm)
diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Alternate Parts".
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (991 mm) high and
no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

Laundry tub drain system (view C)
The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top
of the laundry tub must be at least 34" (864 mm) above the floor
and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system (view D)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – 240 VOLT MODELS
(U.S.A.)
It is your responsibility
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■
To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
■
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60
■
Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 208 volt electrical
supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-
amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual
branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding
circuit.
Do not use an extension cord.
■
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
■
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your Laundry Center, you must determine the
type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the
instructions provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
■
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is
permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)
within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical
supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed
from the internal ground connector (green screw), and secured
under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal
block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the
neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block,
the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground
■
wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire connection" in
"Electrical Connection" section.
Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in
■
a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
■
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 240 volt
■
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least
4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end
in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
A UL listed strain relief.
■
If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
D
D
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with
ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain
relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The
neutral conductor must be identified by a white
cover.
