Electrolux EIED50LIW Installation Instruction

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other 
fl ammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is 
installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 
inches (45.7 cm) above the fl oor. Failure to do so 
can result in death, explosion, fi re or burns.

In installations where the exhaust system is not 
described in the charts, the following method must 
be used to determine if the exhaust system is 
acceptable:

1.  Connect an inclined or digital manometer 

between the dryer and the point the exhaust 
connects to the dryer.

2.  Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fl uff 

(cool down) and start the dryer.

3.  Read the measurement on the manometer. 

4.  The system back pressure MUST NOT be 

higher than 1.0 inch of water column.  If the 
system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of 
water column, the system is acceptable. If the 
manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of 
water column, the system is too restrictive and 
the installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system 
is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances 
could affect the performance of the dryer:

Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

• 

Venting vertically through a roof may expose 

• 

the exhaust system to down drafts causing an 
increase in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through an 

• 

uninsulated area may cause condensation and 
faster accumulation of lint. 

Compression or crimping of the exhaust system 

• 

will cause an increase in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and 

• 

cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with 
normal usage. The more the dryer is used, 
the more often you should check the exhaust 
system and vent hood for proper operation.

Installation MUST conform to current 

1. 

Manufactured Home Construction & Safety 
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the 
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction 
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard 
CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not 

2. 

beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting 
that will not support combustion. Metal ducting 
must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no 
obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
If dryer is exhausted through the fl oor and 

3. 

area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, 

the exhaust system MUST terminate outside 
the enclosure with the termination securely 
fastened to the mobile home structure.
Refer to previous sections in this guide for other 

4. 

important exhaust venting system requirements.
When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, 

5. 

a provision must be made for outside make up 
air. This provision is to be not less than twice 
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer 

6. 

mounted on pedestal to the fl oor with approved
