Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■ This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire

electrical supply connection. The green cabinet-grounding conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the green cabinetgrounding conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the green cabinet-grounding conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.

■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a cabinet

ground connector to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” section.

■ Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a

mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

Venting Requirements

WARNING

Fire Hazard Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

DURASAFE™ vent products are recommended. DURASAFE™ vent products can be purchased from your dealer

or by calling Whirlpool Parts and Accessories. For more information, see the “Assistance or Service” section of this manual.

■ The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.

■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or

floors.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be

connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

A. External ground conductor screw B. Neutral grounding wire (green with yellow stripes) C. Neutral wire (white or center wire) D. Grounding path determined by a qualified electrician

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,

wallpaper, carpets, etc.

Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and

kinking. Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that can result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that is in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.

C. Bottom exhaust installation (Not an option with

pedestal installations.)

Special provisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent length

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Avoid 90º turns when possible.

better

good

2. Determine vent length.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

■ The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).

■ The number of elbows used.

■ Type of hood.

Recommended hood styles are shown here.

InstallVent System

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.

See “Determine vent length.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

4" (10.2 cm)

A. Louvered hood style B. Box hood style

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

4" (10.2 cm)

2½" (6.4 cm)

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

■ Shorten the life of the dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

3. Determine the number of elbows you will need. IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than those

specified in the Vent Length Chart. The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent

length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood that you will use.

Drying andCycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.

Drying tips

■ Follow care label directions when they are available.

■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package

instructions.

■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to

reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This

could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■ Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart

(in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when

you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or LESS.

■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,

you must press the MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.
