WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to do so can result in
death or fire.
Do not use non-metal flexible vent,
metal vent that is smaller than four
inches in diameter or exhaust hoods
with magnetic latches.
The dryer must be exhausted
outdoors.
Do not exhaust dryer into a gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed
space of a building.
Do not install flexible vent in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors.
If using an existing exhaust system,
clean lint from entire length of exhaust
system. Make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint.
The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned yearly.
Replace any plastic or metal foil
exhaust vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Use 4" (10.2 cm) vent clamps to
secure vent system.

Four-inch (10.2 cm) metal exhaust
vent is required. Plan installation to
use the fewest number of elbows and
turns.
Metal flexible vent must be fully
extended and supported when the
dryer is in its final position. DO NOT
KINK OR CRUSH THE VENT. The metal
flexible vent must be completely
open to allow adequate exhaust air
to flow.
Allow as much room as possible
when using elbows or making turns.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid
sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced air flow.
Exhaust outlet is located at the
center of the bottom dryer back.
The exhaust vent can be routed up,
down, left, right, behind the dryer or
straight out the back of the dryer.
Maximum length of exhaust system
depends upon the type of vent used,
number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length
for both rigid and flexible vent is
shown in the chart.

For exhaust systems not covered by
the exhaust length chart, see
Whirlpool Service Manual, "Exhausting
Whirlpool Dryers," Part No. 603197,
available from your Whirlpool parts
distributor.
The dryer must be exhausted to the
outside and provision made for
enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes
and ordinances.) See "Recessed area
and closet installation instructions" on
Page 12.
An exhaust hood should cap the
exhaust vent to prevent exhausted air
from returning into the dryer. The
outlet of the hood must be at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) from the ground
or anything else that may be in the
path of the exhaust.
Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet
exhaust hood may be used. A
2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other
hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary exhaust
system is required.
