■ Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the water fill
valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). You
may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y”
connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.
■ 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer.
This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the
sides an
d rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the
following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
moldings.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer
to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings
in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors
with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
■ Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of the
dryer to either the right or left side.

■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.

separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A timedelay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an
individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
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 neutral ground 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 neutral ground 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 neutral ground 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 neutral ground
wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” in
“Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
■ A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the
appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is
prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes,
(3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes
yers. The kit should contain:

■ A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at
least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and
match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire
(ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral
conductor must be identified by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:
3-wire receptacle (10-30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

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 re.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a
building.
■ Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking
that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or
floors.
■ The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 7
3
/4 ft
(2.4 m).
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Good Better
Clamps
■ Use clamps to seal all joints.
■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
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 heavy metal or
flexible metal vent.
■ Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if
necessary to achieve the best drying performance.
If this is a new vent system
Vent material
■ Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used. DURASAFE™ venting products are recommended.
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
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.
Rigid metal
■ For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are
recommended.
■ Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible met
■ Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for
cleaning.
■ Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final location.

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.
Plan Vent System
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Special provisions for mobil
e home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the m
obile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path
■ 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.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
■ Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: D
