DIRECT WIRE
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove terminal block cover (see
Figure 5).
3. Strip 3-1/2 inches of outer covering from

Exhaust requirements
ÀWARNING
M
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.
Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
It is recommended that you exhaust
your dryer to the outside for best
performance. Moisture and lint indoors
may cause:
• Lint to gather around the dryer where
it can be fuel for a fire.
• Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health
problems.
If the washer/dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, it must be
exhausted to the outside and provision
must be made for enough air for
ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances. Also refer fo the "Recessed
and closet installation instructions" on
Panel G.
Four-inch heavy metal exhaust vent and
clamps must be used. Dura Safe'^ vent
products are recommended.
Dura Safe™ vent products can be
purchased from your dealer or by
calling Whirlpool Parts & Accessories
1-800-442-9991 (CST).

http://whirlpoolappliances.com/accessories.
Four-inch cfiameter vent must be used.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use pl(3stic or
metal foil vent,
• Do Not use non-metal flexible vent, or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
• Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space,
or any other vent used for venting.
• Do Not install flexible vent in enclosed walls,
ceilings or floors.
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 fiixil
position.
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid
sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced air flow.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust
vent to prevent rodents and insects from
entering the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must
be at least 12 inches 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 exhaust
system, clean lint from entire length of 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 clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
e)4end into the interior of the vent to secure
yent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.2 inches in
water column mecqsured with an inclir^e
manometer at the point thcqt exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
