Before you start...

Check location where washer/dryer will be installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation.

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical requirements.”

Standpipe drain system:

Needs a two-inch diameter standpipe with minimum carry-away capacity of 17 gallons per minute. Top of standpipe must be at le inches high and no higher than 72 inches from floor.

Important:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes and sleeping quarters. (Contact your local building inspector.)

Hot and cold water faucets:

Must be within 4 feet of the back of the washer/dryer and provide water pressure of 5-100 PSI.

Untape and open washer lid. Remove packages and hoses from washer.

Electrical Shock Hazard l l l

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or other insulating materials, Do Not l l use for grounding.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

Do Not modify the power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

. Use a new 30-ampere power supply cord kit. Do Not reuse an old power supply cord. Possible electrical shock or fire hazard could occur if old power supply cord is used.

Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could l l result in an electrical shock.

Do Not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Check with a qualified electrician as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply with a fourth wire as a grounding wire (or three-wire, 120/208-volt electrical supply with a fourth wire as a grounding wire if specified on serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). The serial/rating plate is located in the door well behind the dryer door on the front of the opening.

Product Damage

Do Not store or operate washer/dryer below 32°F (some water may remain in washer). Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45°F. See Use & Care Guide for

“Winterizing” information. Failure to do so may result in damage from freezing.

NOTE: If local codes require permanently connected wiring, see

“Alternate electrical connection,”

Panels E and F.

To convert to three-wire electrical system, the four-wire power supply cord must be removed and the appliance cabinet must be grounded according to local codes either by using the neutral terminal or a separate grounding wire. (See “Alternate electrical connection,” Panels E and F for detailed instructions).

Exhaust reaufrements

*

Four-inch rigid metal pipe is preferred. Plan installation to use the fewest number of exhaust air flow exhaust air flow

Metal flexible duct should be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK

OR CRUSH THE DUCT. The metal flexible duct must be completely open to allow adequate exhaust air to flow.

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.

The exhaust duct 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.

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

Fire/Health Hazard l l l

Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.

Do Not use metal duct smaller than four inches in diameter.

Do Not use exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.

. Check that exhaust system is not longer than specified. Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

- Accumulate lint.

- Shorten the life of the dryer.

- Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

Failure to follow specifications may result in a fire. l

Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting. l

. Clean the exhaust system every other year.

Do Not install flexible duct in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Accumulated lint could result in a fire or cause moisture damage.

. Exhausting your dryer indoors is not recommended. The moisture and lint indoors may cause:

- FIRE HAZARD from lint collected in dryer.

- Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.

- Housecleaning problems and possible health problems.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire damage or personal injury.

Service check: The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed

0.6 inches of water column measured with an incline manometer at the point that the exhaust duct connects to the dryer.

Exhausting the dryer outside is recommended. A closet installation must be exhausted outside. Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use Exhaust Deflector Pat-t No.

694609 available from your Whirlpool dealer. See “Recessed and closet installation instructions,” Panel G, for adequate, unobstructed air opening requirements.

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 combustion and ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to “Recessed and closet installation instructions,” Panel G.

An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air from returning into dryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least

--lb

12 inches from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.

However, a 2-l/2-inch outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2-l/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.

\

Mobile home installation

This appliance is suitable for mobile home installation. 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).

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 build-up under the mobile home.
