Parts needed:

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting and see “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” before purchasing parts.

Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For information on ordering, please refer to the “Assistance or Service” section. You may also contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

A UL listed strain relief.

LocationRequirements

You will need

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”

A separate 30-amp circuit.

If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of

200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
