GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
■ For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Gas Supply Line
Recommended method
■Provide a gas supply line of ¹⁄ " rigid (IPS) pipe to the dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ¹⁄ " minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
Alternate method
■The gas supply may also be connected using ³⁄ " approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 feet (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required. If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with ³⁄ " male pipe thread.)
■Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line when moving the dryer.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the dryer.
■Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, an individual manual shutoff valve must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2. This valve should be located in the same room as the dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the dryer.

Venting Requirements
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
■The dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
■4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.
■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
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" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes).
8
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.
A B
Exhaust Air Flow
A.Better
B.Good
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer or straight out the back of the dryer.
Vent System Length
Multiple Dryer Venting
■A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. 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.
■Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No. 3391910, are available from your Whirlpool dealer and should be installed in each dryer's vent to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed air openings are required.
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°.

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see Whirlpool Service Manual, “Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers,” Part No. LIT603197, 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” in the “Location Requiements” section.
A four-inch outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2¹⁄ " (6.4 cm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2¹⁄ " (6.4 cm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.
A.Individual dryer vent
B.Main vent
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 vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.
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 a 180° sweep elbow on the end of the vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above the highest part of the building. The opening wall or roof shall have a diameter ¹⁄ " (1.3 cm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be centered in the opening.
