Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
■

4. Wide Opening Hamper Door
*
Most installations require a minimum 5½ in. (14 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet
installation
The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing
allowed.
■
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
2
■
Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
■
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
■
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Mobile Home-Additional Installation Requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation
must conform to the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard,
CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
■
Metal exhaust system hardware which is available for
purchase from your dealer.
■
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
■
A 4 wire, single phase, 115/230-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only
electrical supply is required on a separate 30-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch
circuit.
■
This dryer is equipped with a CSA International Certified
Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-30R
wall receptacle. The cord is 5 ft (1.52 m) in length. Be sure wall
receptacle is within reach of dryer’s final location.
4-wire receptacle 14-30R
If using a replacement power supply cord, it is recommended that
you use Power Supply Cord Replacement Part Number 9831317.
For further information, please reference the service numbers
located in your “Dryer User Instructions.”
Replacement Power Supply Cord must be:
■
UL Listed or CSA International Certified
■
Marked for use with clothes dryers
■
Rated 115/230 volt minimum
■
30 amp
■
Type SRD or SRDT
■
4 conductors
■
At least 4 ft (1.22 m) long
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 4 prong outlet.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical 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-latest
edition and all local codes. A copy of the above codes
standard may be obtained from: Canadian Standards
Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3
CANADA.
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 provided with the dryer: if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

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:
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
Plan Vent System
Typical exhaust installations
Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer.
1. Dryer
2. Elbow
3. Wall
4. Exhaust hood
5. Clamps
6. Rigid metal or flexible metal vent
7. Vent length necessary to connect elbows
8. Exhaust outlet
4 in. (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used. DURASAFE™ venting products are recommended.
DURASAFE™ vent products can be purchased from your dealer
or by calling Whirlpool Parts and Accessories. For more
information, see the “Assistance or Service” section of your
“Dryer User Instructions.”
■
Do not exhaust the dryer 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.
■
Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into
the interior of the vent to secure vent.
IMPORTANT:
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-
paper, carpets, etc.
Housecleaning problems and health 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 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.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to
secure vent.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

metal vent
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure. Do not use screws or other
fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
■
Shorten the life of the dryer.
■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
NOTE:
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent
Length Chart.
The chart below helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.
Vent Length Chart
Terminate the exhaust vent outside. The exhaust vent must not
terminate beneath the mobile home and must not be connected
to any other duct, vent or chimney.
Determine Vent Length
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 90º 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.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.

Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.
4.
Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See “Determine Vent Length.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to
seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.
