DRYER SAFETY

WARNING:

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Whirlpool CGD9160GW, CED9160GW, CED9150GW, CGD9150GW Installation Instructions

DRYER SAFETY

In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.

Acceptable Shut-off Devices: Gas Cocks and Ball Valves installed for use shall be listed.

A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 4 feet (121.9 cm).

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re.

To reduce the risk of re due to contaminated loads, thenal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

The dryer 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, Part 1, CSA C22.1.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Venting Requirements

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. Only rigid or flexible vent shall be used for exhausting.

Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.

Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.

Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.

The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).

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

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) 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.

Good 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. See “Product Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

Make-up air:

Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in2 (154 cm2) (based on 1 square inch [6.5 cm2] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air

openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so that the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location of exhaust vents exiting the building.

Vent System Length

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.

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor.

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” sections.

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½" (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Connect Vent

1.If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.

2.Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

 

3. Tighten hose clamp with Phillips screwdriver.

Multiple Dryer Venting

 

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.

 

A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a

 

commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the

vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

 

Make sure dryer is level.

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°.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a

 

Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).

If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used

 

The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
