For exhaust systems
not covered
by the
exhaust
length chart, check
with your dealer
or distributor
for information.
Service check:
The back pressure in any
exhaust
system used must not exceed
0.3
inches of water column
measured
with an
inclined
manometer
at the point that the
exhaust
duct connects
to the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outside
is
recommended.
A closet installation
must
be
exhausted
outside.
Recessed
installation
that is not exhausted
outside must use
Exhaust Deflector
Part No. 603197 available
from your dealer.
See "Recessed
and closet
installation
instructions"
on back cover for
adequate
unobstructed
air opening
requirements.
If the dryer is installed in a confined area
such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet,
it
must be exhausted
to the outside and
provision
must be made
for enough
air for
combustion
and ventilation.
Check
governing
codes and ordinances.
Also refer
to the "Recessed
and closet installation
instructions"
on back cover.
An
exhaust hood
should cap
the exhaust
duct to prevent
exhausted
air from returning
into dryer. The outlet of the
hood must be at least 12"
from the ground
or any
object
that may be in the
path of the exhaust.
Four-inch outlet exhaust
3L
hood
is preferred.
However,
a 2-l/2-inch
outlet exhaust
hood may be
used. A 2-l/2-inch
outlet exhaust
hood
creates
greater
back pressure than other
hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary
exhaust system is required.
Mobile home installation
This appliance
is suitable
for mobile
home
installations.
The installation
of the dryer must
conform
to the Manufactured
Home
Construction
and Safety Standard,
Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
the Federal
Standard
for Mobile
Homes Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280, 1975) or
the latest edition.
Use a small'amount
of liquid detergent
to
lubricate
the screw so it is easier to turn the
leg. Use an adjustable
wrench
to finish
turning the legs until you have
1" of the leg
below the base.
