Electrical requirements

Observe all governing Codes and Ordinances.

1.A two wire, single phase, 220 Volt, 50 Hz, AC only. electrlcal power supply ISrequired on a separately fused 15 Ampere circuit (Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended )

2.An adequate electrical ground is required within 4 feet of the appliance location when using the grounding wire supplied

3.THE DRYER MUST BECONNECTED TO COPPER WIRE ONLY. Aluminum wire must not be used to avoid

potentially unsatisfactory connections.

4.Local codes may permit the use of a flexible type electrical power supply cord [pigtail), A suitable strain relief must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance

5.The appliance may be connected directly to the fused dtsconnect [or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed cable.

Exhaust requirements

WARNING:

l Metal flexible duct may be used Non-metallic flexible duct is not recommended since It is a potential fire hazard.

For Safety:

lDo not exhaust dryer Into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, atiic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting Accumulated lint could become a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage,

l Clean the exhaust system perlodically, at least every 2 years

l Never install flexible duct concealed In walls, ceiling or under flooring.

Four Inch Metal Exhaust Duct is recommended.

(Do not use 3-inch exhaust duct. Use Duct Tape to seal all joints.

Exhausting the dryer outside is recommended If you cannot exhaust the dryer to the outside, use Exhaust Deflector Kit LCK4000 available from vour WhirlDo01 dealer

of the dryer back.

The Exhaust Duct can be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the dryer

Metal Flexible Duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer ISin its final position, DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT

An Exhaust Hood should cap

exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air returning into dryer, The outlet of the hood must be at least 12 Inches from the ground or anything else that may be

in the path of the exhaust,

A 2% inch outlet Exhaust Hood should be used with short systems only, [This outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.)

Exhaust Hoods with magnetic latches should not be used.

The Maximum Length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown In chart

l Accumulate lint.

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. The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed .6 inches 0f water column measured with an inclined manometer at the point that the exhaust system connects to the dryer

There are Exhaust Kits available that allow you to direct filtered exhaust air Inside to conserve energy during winter months. Whirlpool has a Heat-Humidity Saver Part No. 279427 which can be used with Whirlpool dryers providing their use does not violate national

or local codes, If you use one of these kits, be aware that excessive moisture in the home can cause many problems and that you may see an increase in the time required to dry a load. Also, you must regularly clean the filter to avoid excessive lint build-up which can affect the dryer’s performance.

NOTE: Do not use this kit on a dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, or closet.
