Venting Requirements

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™ vent 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.

Do not exhaust the dryer 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.

Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into

the interior of the vent to secure vent.

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.

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.

Use duct tape to seal all joints.
