Exhaust
requirements
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.
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.
WARNING
If dryer is installed in a confined area,
such as a bedroom, bathroom or
closet, it 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.
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.
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.
Do not use non-metal flexible vent,
metal vent that is smaller than four
inches in diameter or exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
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.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
Do not exhaust dryer into a gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed
space of a building.
EXHAUST HOOD TYPE
Do not install flexible vent in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors.

An exhaust hood should cap the
outside end of the main vent to
prevent exhausted air from returning
to the dryers. 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 180° sweep elbow on the end
of vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above
the highest part of the building. The
opening wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) larger than
the exhaust vent diameter. The
exhaust vent should be centered in
the opening.
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.

Gas requirements
Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet

Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No.
3391910, are available from your
Whirlpool dealer and should be
installed in each dryer's exhaust vent
to prevent exhausted air from
returning into the dryers and to keep
the exhaust in balance within the
main exhaust vent. Unobstructed air
openings are required.
Do Not install screening or cap over
end of vent.
A.The installation must conform
with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
installation codes.
B.The design of this dryer has
been certified by the CSA
Each exhaust 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.
International for use at altitudes up to
10,000 feet (3048 m) above sea level
at the B.T.U. rating indicated on the
model/serial plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when
the dryer is operated up to this
elevation.
The maximum angle of each vent
entering the main vent should be no
more than 30°.
When installed above 10,000 feet
(3048 m), a four percent (4%)
reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating
shown on the model/serial plate is
required for each 1,000 foot (305 m)
increase in elevation. For assistance
when converting to other gas types
and/or installing above 10,000 feet
(3048 m) elevation, contact your
local service company.
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 exhaust vent for
periodically cleaning of the exhaust
system.

permit, it is recommended that new
flexible metal tubing, design-certified
by the AGA or CSA, be used for
connecting the dryer to the gas
supply line. (The gas feed pipe which
extends through the lower rear of the
dryer is provided with 3/8-inch metal
pipe thread.)
It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be
provided.
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
D.This dryer is equipped for use
with NATURAL GAS. It is certified by
CSA International for manufactured,
mixed and L.P. (propane and
butane) gases with appropriate
conversion. No attempt shall be
made to convert the appliance from
the gas specified on the serial/rating
plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas
supplier. Conversion must be done by
a qualified service technician. Gas
conversion kit part numbers are listed
on the gas valve burner base.
I.
If rigid
pipe is used
as a gas supply line, a
combination of pipe fittings must
be used to obtain an in-line
connection to the dryer.
Recommended
ground method
The dryer, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National
J.
Make sure that lower edges of
the cabinet, plus the back and
bottom sides of the dryer are free of
obstructions to permit adequate
clearance of air openings for
combustion air. See "Recessed area
and closet installation instructions,"
page 12, for minimum spacing
requirements.
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70*.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This
appliance 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.
E.Provide a rigid gas supply line of
1/2-inch IPS pipe to the dryer
location. If the total length of the
supply line is more than 20 feet
(6.1 m), larger pipe will be needed.

approved copper tubing may be
used. Pipe-joint compounds suitable
for use with L.P. gas should be used.
L.
A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tapping,
accessible for gauge testing, must be
installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the dryer.
WARNING - Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

lubricate the screw threads so it is
easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1-inch
wrench or socket wrench to finish
turning the legs until you reach the
diamond mark.
Now stand the dryer up.
