Gas Dryer
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS OVERALL DIMENSIONS
WGD6600V, WGD6600W
Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with
natural gas. It is designed-certified by CSA
International for L.P. (propane or butane) gases
ith appropriate conversion. When rigid pipe is
w
used it should be 1/2" IPS. When acceptable to the
gas supplier and local codes, 3/8" approved tubing
may be used for lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m). For
lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing should be
used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action
of L.P. gas must be used. If local codes permit, it is
recommended that new flexible metal tubing,
design-certified by CSA, be used for connecting the
appliance to the rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe
which extends through the lower rear of the
appliance has 3/8" male pipe thread.) An individual
manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft.
(1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, single
phase, 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, electrical supply
is required on a separate 15 or 20 amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. 4" (102 mm) diameter vent is required.
Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used.
Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet
hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the
ground or any object that may be in the path of the
exhaust.
RECESSED AREA AND CLOSET INSTALLATION
For closet installation
with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in
the top and bottom of
the door are required.
Louvered doors with
equivalent air openings
are acceptable.
EXHAUST VENTING
Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve
our products, we reserve the right to change materials and specifications without notice.
1. 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.
Avoid 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
• The number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent
lengths you can use.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.
Dimensions are for planning purposes only. For complete details, see Installation
Instructions packed with product. Specifications subject to change without notice.
