Installation Instructions

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada). When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. Locate in an area that has adequate fresh air.

A minimum of 72 in² (183 cm² ) of unobstructed space is required.

Call 1-800-SAMSUNG for information on purchasing the Floor Anchoring Kit as an accessory.

All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate underneath the mobile home.

See Exhausting section for more information.

EXHAUSTING

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.

All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.

WARNING – The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet.

NEVER USE PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.

If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.

Use only metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air, heat, and lint.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: Wiring diagram is located on plate below the control panel.

WARNING –

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical services for your dryer.

GROUNDING

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanent grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal.
