basic

precautions,

including

the

following:

• 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.

•

A 4-wire connection

is required

for

all manufactured

or mobile

home installations,

as well as all new

construction

after January

1, 1996.

A 4-wire

connection

must be used where

local codes do not

permit grounding

through

the neutral wire. Failure to

do so can result in fire, explosion,

or death.

• 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 and 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 in2 (163 cm2).

• It is important that the clearance

of the duct from any

combustible

construction

be at least 2 in. (5 cm), and

when venting the dryer to the outdoors,

the dryer can

be installed

with a clearance

of 1 in. (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.
