requirements

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.

Do not use non-metal flexible vent,
metal vent that is smaller than four

inches in diameter or exhaust hoods

with magnetic latches,

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

Do not exhaust dryer into a gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed
space of a building,

Do not install flexible vent in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors,

If using an existing exhaust system,
clean lint from entire length of exhaust
system, Make sure 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,

Use 4" (10,2 cm) vent clamps to

secure vent system,

exhaust airflow

better FI good r=1

Four-inch (10.2 cm) metal exhaust vent

isrequired, Plan installation to use the

fewest number of elbows and turns,
Metal flexible vent must be fully

extended and supported when the
dryer isin its final position, DO NOT

KINK OR CRUSH THE VENT, The metal

flexible vent must be completely
open to allow adequate exhaust air

to flow.

Allow as much room as possible
when using elbows or making turns,

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking,
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid

sagging and kinking that may result in

reduced air flow,

Exhaust outlet is located at the
center of the boftom dryer back,

The exhaust vent can be routed up,
down, left, right, behind the dryer or
straight out the back of the dryer,

Maximum length of exhaust system
depends upon the type of vent used,

number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood, The maximum length
for both rigid and flexible vent is

shown in the chart,

For exhaust systems not covered by
the exhaust length chart, see
Whirlpool Service Manual, "Exhausting
Whirlpool Dryers," Part No, 603197,
available from your Whirlpool parts

distributor,

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 =on

Page 12,
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 inches (30,5 cm) from the ground
or anything else that may be in the
path of the exhaust,

Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.

However, a 2-1/2-inch (6,4 cm) outlet
exhaust hood may be used, A
2-1/2-inch (6,4 cm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other
hood types, For permanent

installation, a stationary exhaust
system is required,

A main exhaust vent can be used for
exhausting a group of dryers, 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 make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of
all the dryers in the room,

airflow _ molncoHecforvent

Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No,

339191 B,are 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

the exhaust 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 °,

Keep air openings free of dry
cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create

acids which, when drawn through the
dryer heafing units, can damage
dryers and loads being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located
on the main exhaust vent for

periodically cleaning of the exhaust
system,

An exhaust hood should cap the
outside end of the main vent to

prevent exhausted air from returning
to the dryers, If an exhaust hood

cannot be used, the outside end of
the main vent should have a sweep

elbow directed downward, If the

main vent travels vertically through
the roof, rather than through the wall,

install 180 ° sweep elbow on the end
of vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above
the highest part of the building, The
opening wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1/2 inch (1,3 cm) larger than

the exhaust vent diameter, The
exhaust vent should be centered in

the opening,
