INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
25
Special
requiremenfs
for
manufacfured
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 32-80 or Standard
CAN/CSA0Z240
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 a nd 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 Duct Condition
Testing on the following
page.
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer
on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts,
the igniter
should ignite the main burner.
i @NOTE
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter
may turn
off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will
reattempt
gas ignition
after approximately
two minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch 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.
