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.
Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
It is recommended that you exhaust
your dryer to the outside for best
performance. Moisture and lint indoors
may cause:
l
Lint to gather around the dryer where
it can be fuel for a fire.
l
Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
l
Housecleaning problems and health
problems.
If the washer/dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, it must be
exhausted to the outside and provision
must be made for enough air for
ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances. Also refer to the "Recessed
and closet installation instructions" on
Panel G.
Four-inch heavy metal exhaust vent and
clamps must be used. Dura Safe" vent
products are recommended.
Dura SafeRA vent products can be
purchased from your dealer or by
calling Whirlpool Parts & Accessories
l-800-442-999 1 (CST).

Four-inch diameter vent must be used.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
l
Do Not use nonmetal flexible vent, or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
l
Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space,
or any other vent used for venting
l
Do Not install fletible vent in enclosed walls,
ceilings or floors.
l?@d metal vent is recommended to prevent
crushing and tinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in ik final
posllion.
Remove excess fletible vent to avoid
sagging and l&king that may resutt in
reduced air flow.
An exhclust hood should cap the exhaust
vent to prevent rodents and insects from
entering the home.
Exhwstouiiethoodmust
be at least 12 inches from
the ground or any object
thatmaybeinthepathof
the exhaust (such as
flowers, racks or bushes,
etc.).
If using an existing exhaust
32
12" min
system, clean lint from entire length of 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 damps to seal all joints. Da not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
extend into the interior of the vent to secure
Vent.
Service d-~eck: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.2 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
