2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration. 4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn. 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. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 5. Attach "Y" connector to brass male end of small hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. 6. One end of the long hose has a wire mesh strainer inside the coupling. Attach this end to the "Y" connector. 7. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of "Y" connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. A CONNECT 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. A. Inlet to cold water 8. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 9. Attach other end of long hose to fill valve at bottom of dryer back panel. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on fill valve connector. CONNECT INLET HOSE (STEAM MODELS) The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. 1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose. 2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet. NOTE: If "Y" connector can be attached directly to cold water faucet, go to Step 6. If "Y" connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. Continue with Step 3. 3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. 10. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 11. Check that the water faucets are on. 12. Check for leaks around "Y" connector, faucet, and hoses. 14

Venting	11
Venting Requirements	11
If using an existing vent system	11
Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.	11
Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid heavy metal vent or flexible metal vent.	11
Review vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.	11
If this is a new vent system	11
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.	11
4\	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
Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.	12
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final location.	12
Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.	12
Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.	12
The total length of flexible metal vent should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).	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\	12
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.	12

Special provisions for mobile home installations	13
Determine vent path	13
Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.	13
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.	13
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.	13
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.	13
Use the fewest 90° turns possible.	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.	13
