Whirlpool 3395326 - Manual (Page 4)

The exhaust vent can be
routed up, down, left,
right or straight out the
back of the
washer/dryer. Space
requirements are
provided on Panel G of
the Installation
Instructions and on the
rear panel of the
washer/dryer.
Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1/2-inch outlet exhaust
hood may be used. A 2-1/2-inch outlet
creates greater back pressure than
other hood types.
Exhausting the dryer
through the side of the
washer/dryer requires
the use of Side Exhaust
Kit, Part No. 3391335.
Follow kit installation
instructions for proper
exhaust installation.
For exhaust systems
not covered by the
exhaust length chart, see Whirlpool
Service Manual, Exhausting Whirlpool
Dryers, Part No. 603197, available from
your Whirlpool parts distributor.
A closet installation must be exhausted
outside. See “Recessed and closet
installation instructions” on Panel G for
adequate unobstructed air opening
requirements.

Use new hose and washers that came with
your washer/dryer.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use

and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found. When
replacing your inlet hoses, mark the
date of replacement on the label with a
permanent marker.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install washer/dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
WARNING
better good
exhaust air flow
Plan installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns.
Maximum length of the exhaust system
depends upon the type of vent used,
number of elbows and the type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length for
both rigid and flexible vent is shown in
the chart.
Replace any plastic or
metal foil vent with rigid
metal or flexible metal
vent.
Use clamps to seal all
joints. Do not use duct
tape, screws or other
fastening devices that extend into the interior
of the vent to secure vent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.

Mobile home installation
This appliance is suitable for mobile
home installations. The installation of the
washer/dryer must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
the Federal Standard for Mobile Homes
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD
Part 280, latest edition).
For all installations, this
appliance MUST be
fastened to the wall with
cable bracket and MUST
be exhausted to the
outside. Exhaust system
hardware is available
through your Whirlpool
dealer.
Mobile home exhaust requirements: The
washer/dryer must have an outside
exhaust. If the dryer is exhausted
through the floor and the area under
the mobile home is enclosed, the
exhaust system must terminate outside
the enclosed area. Extension beyond
the enclosure will prevent lint and
moisture buildup under the mobile
home.
4.
Tilt washer/dryer forward. Check
that rear leveling legs move up and
down freely so that washer/dryer can
be properly leveled in Step 15.
