Whirlpool W10224594A User Manual

The exhaust vent must be securely 
fastened to a noncombustible portion of 
the mobile home structure and must not 
terminate beneath the mobile home. 
Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

 

 

 

 

 

■

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct 
path outdoors. 

■

Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and 
turns. 

■

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as 
possible. 

■

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. 

■

Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

■

Use the following vent system chart to determine type of vent 
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the 
Vent system chart. 

Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

■

Shorten the life of the dryer.

■

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

The vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help 
to achieve the best drying performance.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside 
the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn 
to the chart.

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall 

opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. 

Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See 

“Determine vent path” in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º turns. 
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or 
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to 
secure vent, which can catch lint.

WARNING

1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the 

dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the 
dryer. 

2. Firmly grasp the body 

of the dryer (not the 
console panel). Gently 
lay the dryer on the 
cardboard. See 
illustration.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Examine the leveling legs. Find 

the diamond marking. 

 

 

 

4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish 

turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of 

the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on 
the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough 
room to connect the exhaust vent.

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in 

dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. 
The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the 
exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood 
with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner 

posts and cardboard.
