Step 2: Connect Dryer Exhaust System
For further assistance, refer to sections on Location
Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
Wl16
•DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.
• Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
• Use 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible
metal duct.
• The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
warranty.

Installation
Heat Source Check
Electric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
Gas Dryers
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red
and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
.
.
Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to
the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
WARNING
For personal safety, lower front panel must
be in place during normal operation. W046
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Installation
IMPORTANT: Installation must conform to 1
the Manufactured Home Construction and 1
Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 |
Standard CAN/CSA-Z240
The dryer can be installed in a manufactured (mobile)
home by following these instructions:
.IMPORTANT: Gas dryers MUST be
permanently attached to the floor at the time
of installation. Order No. 526P3 Dryer
Installation Kit for a manufactured (mobile)
home installation. Follow the instructions
supplied with the kit.
2. Venting - Dryer MUST be exhausted to the
outdoors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation, the dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. Refer to
Section on Dryer Exhaust Requirements. W047
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors
through the back, left, right or bottom panel. Gas
dryers cannot be exhausted out the left side
because of the burner housing.
The dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the
mobile home structure.
Exhaust ducts MUST NOT be connected with
sheet metal screws or fasteners which extend into
the duct.
Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other
duct, vent or chimney.
Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under
the mobile home.
For proper operation, it is important that the dryer
has an ample amount of outside make-up air. The
free area of any opening for the introduction of
outside air must be at least 25 in 2 (163 cm2).
When exhausting the dryer to the outdoors, the
dryer can be installed with "0" inch clearance at
the sides and rear. Clearance of the duct from
combustible construction must be a minimum of
2 inches (5.08 cm).
Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer
(obtain locally).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, the exhaust duct
and weather hood MUST be fabricated of a
material that will not support combustion.
Rigid or flexible metal pipe is
recommended for a clothes dryer. W048

MUST conform with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1,
and such local regulations as might apply. It
is the customer's responsibility to have the
wiring and fuses installed by a qualified
electrician to make sure adequate electrical
power is available to the dryer. W511
Grounding and Wiring Instructions
The electric service must be a separate branch,
polarized, three-wire and ground, 120/240 Volt, or
120/208 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC single phase circuit fused
with 30 ampere fuses.
The cord and plug assembly (supplied with dryer)
should be plugged into an approved receptacle that is
mounted on the wall adjacent to the dryer. This
receptacle should be accessible to the user or service
person when the dryer is in position, to permit
disconnecting when necessary.
If the branch circuit to the dryer is 15 feet (4.57 m) or
less in length, use No. 10 A.W.G. wire or as required
by local codes. If over 15 feet (4.57 m), a No. 8
A.W.G. wire should be used, or as required by local
codes.

Grounding Instructions
This 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
dryer.
The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single
phase circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit,
fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be fused
on both sides of the line). Electrical service for
the dryer should be of maximum rated voltage
listed on the nameplate. Do not connect dryer
to 110, 115, or 120 Volt circuit. Heating
elements are available for field installation in
dryers which are to be connected to electrical
service of different voltage than that listed on
nameplate, such as 208 Volt.
If branch circuit to dryer is 15 feet (4.57 m) or
less in length, use No. l0 A.W.G. wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
15 feet (4.57 m), use No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow
sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved
from its normal location when necessary.
The power cord (pigtail) connection between
wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT
supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge
of wire must conform to local codes and with
instructions mentioned on the following pages.
The method of wiring the dryer is optional and
subject to local code requirements. Refer to
