Electrical Requirements
5
- It is your responsibility
  5
  - To contact a qualified electrical installer.
    5
  - To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70- latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
    5
The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
5
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
5
- To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line....
  6
- Do not use an extension cord.
  6
- If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
  6
- This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical s...
  6
- If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” section.
  6
- A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile ...
  6
- If using a power supply cord:
  6
  - A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
    6
  - A UL listed strain relief.
    6
- If your outlet looks like this:
  6
- If your outlet looks like this:
  6
- If connecting by direct wire:
  6
  - Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
    6
  - 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum) at least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

    11
- Venting Requirements
  11
  - If using an existing vent system
    11
  - If this is a new vent system
    11
    - Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
      11
    - 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.
      11
Vent products can be purchased from your dealer or by calling Whirlpool Service. For more information, see the “Assistance or Service” section.
11
- Rigid metal vent
  11
  - For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.
    11
  - Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
    11
- Flexible metal vent
  12
- Elbows
  12
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
12
- Good Better
  12
- Clamps
  12
  - Use clamps to seal all joints.
    12
  - Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
    12
- Exhaust
  12
A and B: Recommended hood styles. C: Acceptable hood style.
12
- An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.
  12
- Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes, snow line, etc.).
  12
- Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
  12
- Plan Vent System
  12
  - Choose your exhaust installation type
    12
    - Optional exhaust installations
      12
    - Alternate installations for close clearances
      13
      - Over-the-Top Installation:
        13
Part Number 4396028
13
- Periscope Installation (For use with dryer vent to wall vent mismatch):
  13
Part Number 4396037 - 0" (0 mm) to 18" (457 mm) mismatch
13
Part Number 4396011 - 18" (457 mm) to 29" (737 mm) mismatch
13
Part Number 4396014 - 29" (737 mm) to 50" (1.27 m) mismatch
13
- Special provisions for mobile home installations
  13
- Determine vent path
  13
- Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance
  13
  - Use the following vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
    13
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart.
13
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
13
- Shorten the life of the dryer.
  13
- Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.
