GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
[] For a grounded, cord-connected washeddryer:
This washer/dryer must be grounded. In the event of mal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This washer/dryer is equipped with 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.
Emectrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 4 prong outlet.
Failure to do so can resumt in death or emectrica_ shock.
It is your responsibility
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-1atest
edition and local codes. A copy of the above codes standard
may be obtained from: Canadian Standards Association, 178
Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3 CANADA.
WARNmNG: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding 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 washer/dryer
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the washer/dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a quaIified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent,
Do net use a plastc vent,
Do net use a metamfoil vent.
Falure to folow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this washer/dryer
MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
4 in. (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used. DURASAFE TM venting products are recommended.
DURASAFF Mvent products can be purchased from your dealer
or by calling Whirlpool Parts and Accessories. For more
information, seethe "Assistance or Service" section of your
"Washer/Dryer User Instructions."
• The dryer exhaust 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.
• Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices
which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct
tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
washer/dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the
shipping carton. Gently place the washer/dryer on its side, on the
cardboard.
Install the rear leveling legs
1. Push legs into holes in rear corners until they snap into place.
2. Check adjustability of rear legs by pushing in one leg. The
other leg should come out. Check both legs. If they do not
move freely, repeat step 1.
Install the front leveling legs
1. Examine the front leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
2. Screw front legs by hand, into the holes in the triangular
braces in the front corners. Use wrench to finish turning the
legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may resumt in:
[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-
paper, carpets, etc.
[] Housecleaning probJems and heaJth problems.
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 washer/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.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers,
rocks or bushes, etc.).
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.
3. Carefully stand the washer/dryer upright.
1. Open the washer lid. The latch under the dryer will keep the lid
open.
2. Pull the foam packing ring out of the washer.
