This dryer is manufactured with the cabinet-ground conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (center) of of the wiring harness at the terminal block. If local codes do NOT permit this type of connection, use “Four-wire connection” instructions.

GROUND INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

If using power supply cord, the plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance codes and ordinances. with all local

If using a direct wire connection, this appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-ground conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-ground terminal or lead on the appliance.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-ground conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Fire Hazard

Use a new UL approved 30 ampere power supply cord.

Use a UL approved strain relief.

Disconnect power before making electrical connections.

Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal (silver).

Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector.

Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining 2 terminals (gold).

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: l l l

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 to 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 SafeRA vent products can be purchased from your dealer or by calling Whirlpool Parts & Accessories l-800-442-999 1 (CST).

Visit our internet site at http://whirlpoolappliances.com/accessori.

Four-inch diameter vent must be used.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. l

Do Not use nonmetal flexible vent, or exhaust hoods with magnetic latches. l l

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 fletible vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors. l?@d metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and tinking.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in ik final posllion.

Remove excess fletible vent to avoid sagging and l&king that may resutt in reduced air flow.

An exhclust hood should cap the exhaust vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home.

Exhwstouiiethoodmust be at least 12 inches from the ground or any object thatmaybeinthepathof the exhaust (such as flowers, racks or bushes, etc.).

If using an existing exhaust

32 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 damps to seal all joints. Da not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure

Vent.

Service d-~eck: Back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed 0.2 inches in water column measured with an incline manometer at the point that exhaust vent connects to dryer.

6. Connect a separate copper ground wire
