Home Installation - Maytag MDG4057BWW Installation Instructions Manual

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, TNe 24 HUD (Part 280), 1975 for the United
States), or CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada).
When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor
must be made. An anchor bracket kit is available with instructions (see Accessories).
Locate in an area that has adequate makeup air. A minimum of 25 square inches of unob-
structed opening is required.
All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termi-
nation securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support
combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the mobile home. See the section
on exhausting for more information.
EXHAUSTING
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevem large amounts of tint and moisture from
being blown into the room.
In the United States:
- all gas dryers must be exhausted to the outside
- electric dryers located in a confined area such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet must be
exhausted to the outside.
- electric dryers not located in a confined area may be exhausted to the inside (see
