Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere
fused electrical supply is required. A timedelay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The dryer, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70*, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1**

DRYER EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
6. 4″ (10.2 cm) metal exhaust vent is required.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Use 4″ (10.2 cm)
vent clamps to secure the vent system.
7. A metal flexible vent must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in its final
position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE
VENT.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to do so can result in death or
fire.
1. Do not use a non-metal flexible vent, a
metal vent that is smaller than four inches in
diameter, or exhaust hoods with magnetic
latches.
2. The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
3. Do not exhaust the dryer into a gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or the concealed
space of a building.
4. Do not install flexible vent in enclosed walls,
ceilings, or floors.
5. If using an existing exhaust system, clean
the lint from the entire length of exhaust
system. Make sure the exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. The exhaust system should
be inspected and cleaned yearly. Replace
any plastic or metal foil exhaust vent with
rigid metal, or flexible metal vent.
8. A metal flexible vent must be completely
open to allow adequate exhaust air to flow.
9. Allow as much room as possible when
using elbows or making turns. Bend vent
gradually to avoid kinking. Remove any
excess flexible vent to avoid sagging and
kinking that may result in reduced airflow.
The exhaust outlet is located at the center
of the bottom dryer back. The exhaust vent
can be routed up, down, left, right, and
behind the dryer, or straight out the back.

The maximum length of an exhaust system
depends upon the type of vent used, the number of elbows, and the type of exhaust hood.
The maximum lengths for both rigid and flexible venting is shown in the chart below.
For exhaust systems not covered by the exhaust length chart, see the Whirlpool Service
Manual: “Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers,” Part
No. 603197, which is available from your Whirl-
pool parts distributor. Also refer to Section 8.
If a dryer is installed in a confined area, it must
be exhausted to the outside, and provision
made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances.
A 4″ (10.2 cm) outlet hood is preferred, however, a 2 1/2″ (6.4 cm) outlet exhaust hood may
be used. A 2 1/2″ (6.4 cm) outlet creates
greater backpressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary exhaust system is required.
2-13
MULTIPLE DRYER VENT
INSTALLATION
A main exhaust vent can be used for exhausting a group of dryers. The main exhaust 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 exhaust vent if checked
and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should
have makeup air equal to or greater than the
CFM of all the dryers in the room.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust vent
to prevent exhausted air from returning into the
dryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least
12″ (30.5 cm) from the ground or anything else
that may restrict flow of exhaust air. If an
exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside end
of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
A Back-draft Damper Kit, #3391910, is available from your Whirlpool dealer and should be
installed in each dryer's exhaust vent to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers, and to keep individual exhausts in balance
within the main exhaust vent. Unobstructed air
openings are required.
Each exhaust 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 degrees. 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 exhaust vent for periodic
cleaning of the exhaust system.

INSTALLING THE DRYER
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (45.8 cm)
above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
2. Place two of the cardboard corners from
the carton on the floor in back of the dryer.
Firmly grasp the body of the dryer, and
gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.
3. Look at the ridges on one of the leveling
legs for a diamond marking. That is how far
the leg is supposed to go into the hole.
4. Start to screw the leveling legs into the
holes by hand. (You can 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, then stand dryer up on its feet.
NOTE: Slide the cardboard or hardboard under the dryer before moving it across any
flooring, to avoid damaging the floor covering.
WARNING
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 the tape from the front corners of
the dryer. Open the dryer and remove the
literature and parts packages. Wipe the
interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp
cloth.
5. Move the dryer close to its final position.
Remove the cardboard or hardboard from
under the dryer.
At this time, proceed to either “Gas Dryers” or
“Electric Dryers” to complete the installation.
