Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240
MH.
Mobile home installations require:
m
Metal exhaust system hardware which is available for
purchase from your dealer.
a
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.
ElectricalRequirements- U.S.A. Only
It is your responsibility
m To contact a qualifiedelectricalinstaller,
m To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-1etast edition and all local codas and ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Betterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
m To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240-volt,
60-Hz., AC-only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208-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.
m
Do net use an extension cord.
m
If codas 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 dryer, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
a
This dryer is manufactured
ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The green cabinet-grcunding
conductor 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 green cabinet-
grounding conductor must be removed from the external
ground connector (green screw), and secured under the
neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block.
When the green cabinet-grounding conductor is secured
under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the
terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral
conductor.
m
If local codas do not permit the connection of a cabinet
ground connector to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
connection" section.
m
Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a
mobile home or an area where local codas 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
A UL listed 30 amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 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
A UL listed strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
4-wire receptacle(14-30R)
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 4, 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.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
3-wire receptacle(10-30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, 10-gauge copper
wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
