Venting Requirements

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.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

4 in. (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 your

"Dryer User Instructions."

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

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

Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

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

floors.

Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be

connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct

tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect

indoors, which may result in:

Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-

paper, carpets, etc.

Housecleaning problems and health problems.

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.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or

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

rocks or bushes, etc.).

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.
