Do not instafl the dryer where gasoline or other
flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed
in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7
] cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system has not described
in the previous pages, the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1 Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2 Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool
down) and start the dryer.
3 Read the measurement on the manometer.
4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is
higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system
is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, the performance of this dryer could be
adversely affected by the following conditions:
* The use of non-rigid metal duct work.
* Venting vertically through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in
vent restriction.
* Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster
accumulation of lint.
* Accelerated accumulation of lint buildup in dryer
exhaust system, compression or crimping of the
exhaust system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
° The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage.
The more the dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper
operation.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1 Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured
Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD
Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2 Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not
beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that
will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be
4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions.
Rigid metal duct is preferred.
3 If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area
beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust
system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with
the termination securely fastened to the mobile
home structure.
4 Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5When 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.
6Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer
mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved
Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
