Special provisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible

portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate

beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path

■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors.

■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows

and turns.

■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room

as possible.

■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying

performance

■ Use the “Vent System Chart” below to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in

the “Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those

specied will:

■ Shorten the life of the dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will

help to achieve the best drying performance.

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

3. Connect vent to exhaust hood.

Vent must t inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood

with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location. Use the

straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path” in “Plan

Vent System.” Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints.

Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that

extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent, because they

can catch lint.

Install Cord Bracket and Casters

Do not move dryer into its nal location until the following steps

have been performed.

Install cord bracket

1. Remove tape from the power cord and the rear panel.

2. Insert cord brackets into slotted holes in rear panel and

secure with screws provided.
