OBSERVEALL GOVERNING CODES
AND ORDINANCES.
A n This installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1- latest edition,* and all local codes and ordinances.
B n The desian of this drver has been certified by the American Gas Association for use at altitudes up to 3000 m (10.000 feet) above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial rating plate. Burner input adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated up to this elevation.
When installed above 3000 m (10,000 feet), a four percent (4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial rating plate is required
for each 300 m (1 ,ooO foot) increase in elevation, For assistance when converting to other gas types and/or installing above 3000 m (10,000 feet) elevation, contact your local service company.
C n Check that dryers are equipped with the correct burner for the particular type of gas used. Burner information will be found on the rating plate in door well of the appliance. If thls information does not agree with the type of gas available, see your dealer.
D n These dryers are shipped for use with NATURAL GAS.
They are certified by the American Gas Association for
manufactured, mixed and L.P. (propane and butane) gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas suppller. Converslon must be done by a quallfled service technlclan. Gas converslon klt part numbers are llsted on the gas valve burner base.
E n Provide a rlgld gas supply line
of
(20 feet), larger pipe will be needed. For L.P. gas usage,
approved copper tubing may be used.
F n If local codes and ordinances permit, it is recommended that new flexible metal tubing,
by the American Gas Association. be used for connecting the dryers to the gas supply line. (The gas feed pipe. which extends through the lower rear of each dryer, is provided with

I n Make sure lower edges, back and sides of the cabinet are free of obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustton air. See ???Recessed area and closet installation instructions??? for minimum spacing requirements.
J W For ease of installation, operating and servicing (if ever
needed), adequate space should be provided around the dryers.
K n A l/&inch, NPT pluaaed tapping, accessible for testgauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connector to the dryers.
The dryers and their individual shutoff valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of l/2 psig (3.4 kPa).
The dryers must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing their individual manual shutoff valves during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig
(3.4 kPa).

Exhaust
requirements
Fire Hazard
Do Not use
Do Not use exhaust hoods wlth metal latches.
Check that exhaust system Is not longer than specltled. Exhaust system longer than speclfled will:
-Accumulate Ilnt.
-Shorten the llfe ot the dryer.
-Reduce the performance, resulting In longer drylng times and Increased energy usage.
Failure to r0ii0w specltlcatlons may result In a tire.
Do Not exhaust dryers Into a chimney, turnace cold alr duct, alilc or crawl space, or any other duct used ror ventlng.
Clean the exhaust system every other year.
Do Not Install tlexlble duct In enclosed walls, celllngs or floors.
Accumulated lint could result In a fire or cause moisture damage. Exhaust dryers outslde to prevent exposure to substances In gas tuels and combustion which may be harmful to your health.
The moisture and llnt Indoors may cause:
-FIREHAZARDtram llnt collected In dryer.
-Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, palnt, wallpaper, carpet, etc.
-Housecleanlng problems and possible health problems.
Failure to tallow these lnstructlons could result In a tlre or Inlury.
ixhaust materials are not supplled.
It uslng an exlstlng exhaust system, clean llnt from entlre length ot exhaust system. Make sure exhaust hood Is not plugged wlth Ilnt.
The exhaust system should be Inspected and cleaned yearly.
Replace any vlnyl or metalllzed plastic toll exhaust duct wlth rlgld metal or tlexlble metal duct.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do Not use screws to secure duct.
Metal tlexlble duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryers are in 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 cause reduced airflow.
The external exhaust ducts can be routed straight out the back of the dryers. Kits are available to convert the external exhaust duct to be routed right, left or through the bottom (See Page 6). Product dimensions and recessed area requirements are given on Page 7.
Slde or bottom exhaust: The maximum length of the exhaust system through the side or bottom is 4.9 m (16 feet) wlth two external elbows and hood.
Rear exhaust: The maximum length of the exhaust system depends on the type of duct, the number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart.
Thls chart applies only to lndlvldually exhausted unlts.
WIMUM LENGTH OF 10.2~cm
AXIMUM IfNGiH OF 10.2~cm
For exhaust systems not covered by the exhaust length chart, see WhirtDool Service Manual, ???Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers,??? Part No. 603197, available from your Whirlpool parts distributor.
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 system connects to the dryers.
If dryers are Installed In a conflned area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet, they must be exhausted to the outslde and provislon must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the ???Recessed area and closet installation instructions,??? Page 7.)
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted
air from returning into the dryers. The outlet hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12 inches) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
A maln exhaust duct can be used for exhausting a group of dryers. Main exhaust duct should be sized to remove 18.6 CCM (200 CFM) of air per dryer.
Each exhaust duct should enter the main duct at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Ducts
entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted alr from interfering with the other ducts,
Keep air openlngs free ot dry- cleaning fluld fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heatlng unlts, can damage dryers and loads being drled.
A
An exhaust hood should cap the outside end of the main duct to prevent exhausted air from returning to the dryers. If an exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside end of the main duct should have a sweep elbow directed downward. If the main duct travels vertically through the roof rather than through the wall, install 180??? sweep elbow on the end of duct at least 61 cm (2 feet) above the highest part of the building. The opening wall or roof shall have a diameter 1.3 cm (l/2 inch) larger than the exhaust duct diameter. The exhaust duct should be centered in the opening.
Do Not install screening cap over end of duct.
Exhaust duct connection
Determine which direction you need to attach the exhaust ducts to the dryers, Both dryers can be exhausted straight out the back or from the right or left side. The lower dryer can also be exhausted through the bottom.
Next, determine the length of exhaust duct you will need to connect the dryers to exhaust hoods or the main exhaust.
To connect exhaust duct straight out the back -
Attach exhaust duct to each dryer duct. Then connect exhaust ducts to exhaust hoods or main exhaust. Use duct tape to seal all joints.
To connect exhaust duct to the right, left or bottom -
Use one of the following kits to convert the dryers. Follow kit instructions to avoid operating problems.

Stacked dryers may be Installed In a recessed area.
The installation spacing is in centimeters and inches and is the minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation, servicing and compliance with local codes and ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the mlnimum unobstructed air openings in the top and bottom are required. Door must have two centered openings as illustrated. Both openings must provide a minimum of 465 sq cm
(72 square inches) of unobstructed airflow as shown. Louvered doors with equivalent air openlngs are
acceptable.
