0.6 inches of water
column

to the dryer.
Exhausting

instructions.",
Page 10, for adequate
unobstructed

An exhaust
hood should cap the
exhaust
duct to prevent
exhausted

(30.5
cm)
Four-inch
outlet hood is preferred.
However,
a 2-l/2-inch
outlet exhaust
hood may be used. A 2-l/2-inch
outlet
creates
greater
back pressure than
other hood types.
For permanent
installation,
a stationary
exhaust
system is required.
Mobile home installation
This appliance
is suitable
for mobile
home installations.
The installation
of
the dryer must conform
to the
Manufactured
Home Construction
and
Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly
the Federal
Standard
for
Mobile
Homes Construction
and Safety,
Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the latest
edition.
Mobile
home exhaust
requirements:
The 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.
