WARNING
DANGER

Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
Exhaust your dryer to the outside.
Moisture and lint indoors may ause:
• Lint to gather around the dryer where
it an be fuel for a fire.
• Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, arpet,
et .
• House leaning 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. Che k governing odes and
ordinan es. Also refer to the “Re essed
and loset installation instru tions” on
Panel G.
Dura afeTM vent products are
recommended and are available from
your dealer. ee Panel G.
Four-inch diameter vent is required.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plasti or
metal foil vent.
• Do Not use non-metal flexible vent, or
exhaust hoods with magneti lat hes.
• Do Not exhaust dryer into a himney,
furna e, old air vent, atti or rawl spa e,
or any other vent used for venting.
• Do Not install flexible vent in en losed walls,
eilings or floors.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent
rushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in its final
position.
Remove ex ess flexible vent to avoid
sagging and kinking that may result in
redu ed air flow.
An exhaust hood should ap the exhaust
vent to prevent rodents and inse ts from
entering the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12
in hes from the ground or any obje t that
maybe in the path of the exhaust (su h as
flowers, ro ks or bushes, et .).
If using an existing exhaust system, clean lint
from entire length of system and make sure
exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.
Panel B
G.If the washer/dryer is installed in a
onfined area su h as a bedroom,
bathroom or loset, it must be
exhausted to the outside and provision
made for enough ombustion air and

K.For ease of installation, operating
and servi ing (if ever needed),
adequate spa e should be provided
around the washer/dryer.
L.An 1/8-in h NPT plugged tapping,
a essible for test gauge onne tion,
must be installed immediately upstream
of the gas supply onne tor to the
dryer.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve
must be dis onne ted from the gas
supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in ex ess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The dryer must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by losing its
individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
Electrical requirements
A three-wire, single-phase, 120-volt,
60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused,
ele tri al supply is required. A time-
delay fuse or ir uit breaker is
re ommended. If your home has a
ir uit wired and fused for 20 amperes,
this is preferred. If you are installing a
new ir uit, one wired and fused for
20 amperes is re ommended. It is also
re ommended that a separate ir uit
serving only this applian e be provided.
Recommended
ground method
For your personal safety, this applian e
must be grounded. This washer/dryer is
equipped with a power supply ord
having a 3-prong ground plug. To
minimize possible sho k hazard, the
ord must be plugged into a mating,
3-prong, ground-type outlet, grounded
in a ordan e with the National
Ele tri al Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 — latest edition,** and all lo al odes
and ordinan es. (See Figure 1.) If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of
the ustomer to have a properly
grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a
qualified ele tri ian.

Mobile home installation
This appliance is suitable for mobile
home installations. The installation of the
washer/dryer must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
afety, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
the Federal tandard for Mobile Homes
Construction and afety, Title 24, HUD
Part 280, latest edition).
For all installations, this
applian e MUST be
fastened to the wall with
able bra ket and MUST
be exhausted to the
outside. Exhaust system
hardware is available
through your Whirlpool
dealer.
Mobile home exhaust requirements: The
washer/dryer must have an outside
exhaust. If the dryer is exhausted
through the floor and the area under
the mobile home is en losed, the
exhaust system must terminate outside
the en losed area. Extension beyond
the en losure will prevent lint and
moisture buildup under the mobile
home.

installed per the following instru tions:
1. Wet the inside end of the drain
hose with tap water. DO NOT U E
ANY OTHER LUBRICANT.
2. Squeeze ears of lamp with pliers
to open and pla e lamp over the

following steps. (Go to Step 11.)
If you are working in a closet or
recessed area, move the washer/dryer
into its final position and remove
ardboard or hardboard from under
washer/dryer. Remove the a ess

repla ing your inlet hoses, mark the
date of repla ement on the label with a
permanent marker.
13.Atta h bottom hose (inlet
marked “H”) to hot water fau et.
Atta h top hose (inlet marked “C”) to

15.Tilt washer/dryer forward raising
ba k legs 1 in h off of floor to adjust
rear, self-leveling legs. Gently lower
washer/dryer to floor. Che k levelness
of the washer/dryer by pla ing a
arpenter’s level on top of the washer,
first side to side; then front to ba k. If
washer/dryer not level, he k that rear
leveling legs move up and down freely.
If washer/dryer is level, go to Step 17.
Insert corner posts 6 inches
from left leg. Do Not insert
corner posts in the center of
the washer/dryer.
16.If it is not level, arefully tilt
washer/dryer ba kward until front of
washer/dryer is 3-4 in hes off of floor.
Insert 4 orner posts under washer/dryer
about 6 in hes from the left leg. Loosen
nuts on ea h front leg. Adjust the front
legs up or down. Tilt washer/dryer
ba kward and remove orner posts.
Gently lower the washer/dryer to the
floor. Repeat Step 15. If it is still not level,
repeat Step 16 and then Step 15 until
washer/dryer is level.
17.When washer/dryer is level, use
wren h to turn nuts on front legs up
tightly against washer/dryer base. If nuts
are not tight against washer/dryer base,
the washer/dryer may vibrate.

the line. The flexible gas onne tor must
NOT be twisted, kinked or atta hed with
any sharp bends. Use pipe-joint

23.Determine the length of exhaust
vent that is needed to onne t the dryer
to the exhaust hood. (See “Exhaust
requirements,” Panels B and C.)
22.Use a brush and liquid
detergent to test all gas onne tions for
leaks. Bubbles around onne tions will
