Checking Your Vent, Wwarning | Whirlpool 8299699 instruction

CHECKING YOUR VENT

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Install your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45ºF. Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your installation Instructions for more information.
