3. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet. 4. This dryer MUST be fastened to the floor. Mobile Home Installation Kit No. 346764 is available from your dealer. 5. Refer to pages 3 and 4 for other important venting requirements. 6. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regulation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-80) or when such standard is not applicable, with American National Standard for Mobile Homes. The dryer is designed under ANSI Z 21.5.1 or ANSI/UL2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 (latest editions) for HOME USE only. Canadian ELECTRIC Dryer DANGER Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: 1. The dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current. 2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. Do not modify plug provided with the appliance GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION USA ELECTRIC Dryer ELECTRIC Dryer The following are specific requirements for proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create electrical shock and/ or a fire hazard. This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding. Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased. A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: 1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current. 2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. Do not modify plug provided with the appliance. For a permanently connected dryer: 1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. ALL GAS Dryers Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle. 1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug. NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer GAS CONNECTION drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply. 1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the dryer. NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a qualified gas technician. 9
