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” section.

A 102 mm (4") outlet hood is preferred. However, a 64 mm (21⁄2") outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 64 mm (21⁄2") 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 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet

in dryer.

4.Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 102 mm (4") clamp.

5.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).

NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.

DRYER VENTING REQUIREMENTS

If an Exhaust Hood Cannot be Used

The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward.

*Minimum clearance above any accumulation of snow, ice, or debris such as leaves

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least 610 mm (2 ft.) above surface of roof.

The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 13 mm (1⁄2") larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.

Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

Multiple Dryer Venting

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM) of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft dampers are available from your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Although usually each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 154 cm2 (24 in.2) (based on 6.5 cm2 [1 in.2] per 252 kcal [1,000 Btu]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so 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 the use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location where exhaust vents exit the building.

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.

Air owFlow

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 heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

NOTE: For more dryer venting information, please refer to Whirlpool document W10100920.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION (on some models)

Make Gas Connection

1.Connect gas supply to dryer. If the flexible gas hose has 10 mm (3/8") BSP thread, use the supplied conversion thread adapter. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas for gas connections.

If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife to press on the 2 toe panel locks located at the top of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

2.Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure the dryer has its own gas supply opened.

3.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

SECURITE DU SECHE-LINGE

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT : Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessures lors de l’utilisation du sèche-linge, suivre les précautions fondamentales dont les suivantes :

■■ Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser le sèche-linge.

■■ Ce sèche-linge est conçu uniquement pour le séchage de vêtements et de textiles ayant été nettoyés à l’eau. Ne pas l’utiliser à d'autres fins.

■■ AVERTISSEMENT: Si l’on détecte une odeur de gaz, ne pas utiliser le sèche-linge ou tout autre équipement électrique situé à proximité. Avertir les autres personnes qu’elles doivent évacuer cette zone. Contacter le propriétaire du sèche-linge immédiatement.

■■ Ne pas placer des articles exposés aux huiles de cuisson dans votre sèche-linge. Les articles contaminés par des huiles de cuisson peuvent contribuer à une réaction chimique qui pourrait provoquer l'inflammation de la charge.

■■ Si on doit absolument placer des tissus qui contiennent de l’huile végétale ou de cuisson ou qui ont été contaminés par des produits de soin capillaire dans

un sèche-linge, il faut d’abord les laver dans de l’eau chaude avec un supplément de détergent; ceci réduira le danger, sans toutefois l’éliminer.

■■ Ne pas faire sécher des articles qui ont été nettoyés ou lavés avec de l’essence ou imbibés d’essence, de solvants de nettoyage à sec ou d’autres substances inflammables ou explosives ; ces substances peuvent émettre des vapeurs susceptibles de s’enflammer ou d’exploser.

■■ Les articles qui ont été souillés avec des substances comme de l’acétone, de l’alcool, du pétrole, du kérosène, des détachants, de la térébenthine, des cires et des décapants pour cire doivent être lavés à l’eau chaude avec un supplément de détergent avant d’être séchés dans le sèche-linge.

■■ Ne pas faire sécher dans le sèche-linge des articles non lavés.

■■ Ne pas utiliser ce sèche-linge si l’on a utilisé des produits chimiques industriels pour le nettoyage. La présence éventuelle de quantités résiduelles de produits chimiques corrosifs ou décomposés dans

la charge peut endommager le sèche-linge et produire des fumées toxiques.

■■ Ne pas laisser d’enfants jouer sur, dans ou avec le sèche-linge. Bien surveiller les enfants lorsque le sèche-linge est utilisé à proximité d’enfants.

■■ Ce sèche-linge n’est pas conçu pour une utilisation par des personnes (notamment des enfants) aux capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites, ou manquant d’expérience ou de connaissances, à moins qu’elles soient supervisées par une personne responsable ou aient reçu des instructions adaptées pour utiliser le sèche-linge en toute sécurité.

■■ Avant de retirer le sèche-linge du service ou de le mettre au rebut, ôter la porte du compartiment du sèche-linge.

■■ Ne pas insérer une partie du corps dans la cuve du sèche-linge lorsque le tambour est en mouvement.

■■ Ne pas ouvrir la porte lorsque le sèche-linge est en marche. Il s’arrêtera.

■■ L'appareil doit être débranché de sa source d'alimentation pendant le service et lors du remplacement des pièces.

■■ Lors du chargement ou du rechargement du sèche-linge, éviter de toucher les parties métalliques chaudes du tambour (risque de brûlure).

■■ Vérifiez que les poches des vêtements à sécher ne contiennent pas d'objets tels que des briquets ou des allumettes.

■■ Les opérations de nettoyage et d'entretien par l'utilisateur ne doivent pas être réalisées par des enfants non surveillés.

■■ AVERTISSEMENT : L’appareil ne doit pas être mis sous tension via un dispositif de commutation externe, tel qu'un minuteur, ni être connecté à un circuit régulièrement mis sous tension et hors tension par un utilitaire.

■■ Évitez d'installer le sèche-linge derrière une porte verrouillable, une porte coulissante ou une porte dont les charnières se trouvent sur le côté opposé à celui de la charnière de la porte du sèche-linge, de façon que l'ouverture complète de cette dernière ne soit pas gênée.

■■ L’appareil est conçu pour être utilisé dans des lieux publics, sans toutefois être limité à une telle utilisation.

■■ Les enfants de moins de 3 ans doivent être tenus à distance de l'appareil ou être surveillés en permanence.

■■ Si la rotation du tambour est entravée par des tissus coincés, déconnecter le sèche-linge de l’alimentation électrique avant de retirer la source d’obstruction avec précaution.

■■ Ne pas utiliser le sèche-linge s’il ne chauffe pas, s’il semble défectueux ou endommagé. Contacter le propriétaire.

■■ Ne pas installer ou remiser ce sèche-linge à un endroit où il serait exposée aux intempéries.

■■ Ne pas modifier les organes de commande.

■■ Nettoyer le filtre à charpie avant et après chaque charge.

■■ Ne pas utiliser ce sèche-linge si le filtre à peluches n’est pas installé.

■■ Ne pas réparer ou remplacer un composant quelconque du sèche-linge, ni entreprendre une opération de service, si ce n’est spécifiquement recommandé

dans ce manuel ou dans un manuel d’instructions

de réparations destiné à l’utilisateur; il est alors essentiel que la personne concernée comprenne ces instructions et soit compétente pour les exécuter.

■■ Les assouplissants et autres produits similaires doivent être utilisés conformément aux instructions figurant sur l'emballage.

■■ Ne séchez pas au sèche-linge des articles en caoutchouc mousse (mousse de latex), des bonnets de douche, des articles imperméables ou au revers caoutchouté, ni des vêtements ou des oreillers dont le rembourrage est en caoutchouc mousse.

■■ La dernière partie d’un programme de séchage par culbutage a lieu sans chaleur (programme de refroidissement) pour faire en sorte que les articles

soient laissés à une température qui garantit que les articles ne seront pas endommagés.
