Venting Requirements

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

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

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

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 or flexible

heavy metal vent.

Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if

necessary to achieve the best drying performance.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

4" (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

this manual.

Rigid metal vent

For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are

recommended.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and

kinking.

Flexible metal vent

Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for

cleaning.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported

when the dryer is in its final location.

Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and

kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor

performance.

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

floors.

Elbows

45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

Clamps

Use clamps to seal all joints.

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws

or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the

duct. Do not use duct tape.
