CHECKING YOUR VENT
You must properly install and vent your dryer to achieve maximum drying efficiency and to
also shorten drying times. To avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air, use the
minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions). Refer to
your Installation Instructions for more information.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
• Use a heavy metal vent.
• Do not use a metal foil vent.
• Do not use a plastic vent.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
The dryer will not be covered under the warranty if it is not properly installed and vented.
NOTE: Whether it was a paid installation or self-installed, service calls caused by improper venting
will be paid for by the customer.
PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 6 OF THE WHIRLPOOL USE & CARE GUIDE FOR FURTHER VENTING
INSTRUCTIONS.
