Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as

flowers, rocks, or bushes). 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. Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

ExhaustAir Flow A.Good B.Better

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center. The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,

or straight out the back of the dryer.

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.

[] The dryer vent must not be exhausted into any gas vent,

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

[] Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting.

[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch. [] Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,

or floors.

[] 4" (102 mm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used. Do

not use plastic or metal foil vent.

[] Use clamps to seat all joints. The duct shall not be assembled

with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

[] The total length of flexible metal vent shall not exceed 8 ft

(2.4 m).

iMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 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 may result in reduced airflow

and poor performance. An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and

insects from entering the home or business.

Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. The

maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air

for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation

Instructions" in the Location Requirements section. A 4" (10.2 cm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/," (6.4 cm)

outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21/2`' (6.4 cm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent

installation, a stationary vent system is required.

[] A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The

main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per

dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be

used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air

equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.

[] Back-draft Damper Kit, Whirlpool Part No. 3391910, is

available from your dealer and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into the

dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side

should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can

damage dryers and loads being dried. A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic

cleaning of the vent system If an exhaust hood cannot be used:

With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond

marking. That's how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole.

Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw

threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1" wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark.

Now stand the dryer up.

Remove the service

door of the meter case

by lifting it up at the back. Install the money-

accepting device. (Refer to manufacturer's

instructions for proper installation.)

slides, use the adapter kit supplied with the dryer.

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key in the meter case opening.

Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer.the legs of

the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS- GASDRYER

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe on back of dryer.

2. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound

approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing

is used, be certain there are no kinks. If necessary for service, open the front lower service panel by

using a V4" nutdriver to remove the 2 hex-head screws from

the bottom of the panel. Then lift up on the panel while pulling the bottom of the panel away from the dryer.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line and make sure

the unit has its own gas supply opened.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any

leak found.

With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first side to side; then front to back. }fthe dryer is not level, adjust

the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Fai{ure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is

clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured

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

2. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3. Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

3. Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory testing):

Close dryer door. Insert coins in slide and press slide in slowly. (Operating time will accumulate per number of coins

and type of timing cam used.) Select the Whites and Colors cycle and let the dryer run for at least five minutes.
