Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable. ■■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. Mobile home - Additional installation requirements This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH. Mobile home installations require: ■■ Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase. For further information, please reference the "Assistance or Service" section of the "Dryer User Instructions." ■■ 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. 5
