Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit

installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping

quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

■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” for

minimum spacing requirements.

■Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid a backflow of

gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels,

including open fires.

NOTE: The dryer must not be installed in an area where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather. If room temperature is below

7º C (45º F), automatic cycles may not shut off.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For

recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances can

be found on the serial tag on the dryer.

minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for

ease of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes

and ordinances.

If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air opening

in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent

air openings are acceptable.

This dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding

door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the

dryer.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same

closet as the dryer.

Electrical Requirements

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

This dryer is supplied/fitted with an electricity supply cord and

European 16A plug. It should be connected to electricity supply

socket at the voltage shown on the rating plate. The minimum

supply fuse capacity should be 16A. The dryer must be

positioned so that the plug is accessible. If the fitted plug is not

used, the electrical connection must be carried out by a

competent electrician in accordance with local or national codes.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a

specially terminated cord by an authorized service agent or a

similarly competent person.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord or portable electrical outlet device

with this dryer.

NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive

(89/336/EEC) the maximum electricity supply system impedance

to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared to be

0.302 Ohm + j0.189 Ohm.

If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth

bond path is adequate.

Electric Shock Hazard

Electric earthing is required on this dryer.

Do not earth to a gas pipe.

Do not change the power supply cord plug. If it does

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earthing circuit.

Do not use an extension cord with this dryer.

Check with a qualified electrician to be sure the dryer is

properly earthed.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in

death, fire, or serious injury.

WARNING

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Recommended Earthing Method

■It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer

to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformance with all local codes and ordinances.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

■The dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building, or

any other vent used for venting.

■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or

floors.

■10 cm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or

secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend

into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

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 or business.

Exhaust hood must be at least 30,5 cm (12") from the ground or

any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as

flowers, rocks or bushes).

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.

Vent System Length

Maximum length of vent 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 vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart

(such as multiple unit hookups, plenums, and power-assist fans),

see Whirlpool Service Manual, “Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers,”

Part No. LIT603197, available from your Whirlpool parts

distributor.

If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom,

bathroom or closet, provision must be made for enough air for

combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and

ordinances.) See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation

Instructions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

A four-inch outlet hood is preferred. However, a 6,4 cm (2¹⁄₂")

outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 6,4 cm (2¹⁄₂") outlet creates

greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent

installation, a stationary vent system is required.

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.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

Avoid making 90º turns.

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making

turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer or

straight out the back of the dryer.

The exhaust outlet is located at the center of the rear of the dryer.

The design of the flue system should ensure that any condensate

subsequently evaporated or discharged. Following these

installation instructions should adequately meet this requirement.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – ELECTRIC DRYER

Install Ventwork

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect exhaust vent to hood. (Exhaust vent MUST fit inside

hood.) Secure vent to hood with a 10 cm (4") clamp.

3. Run exhaust vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path
