Mobile home installation
This appliance is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation of the washer/dryer must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Homes Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280, latest edition).
For all installations, this appliance MUST be fastened to the wall with cable bracket and MUST be exhausted to the outside. Exhaust system hardware is available through your Whirlpool dealer.
Mobile home exhaust requirements: The washer/dryer must have an outside exhaust. If the dryer is exhausted through the floor and the area under the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system must terminate outside the enclosed area. Extension beyond the enclosure will prevent lint and moisture buildup under the mobile home.
