Whirlpool 3396315 Washer/Dryer User Manual


 
3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down,
left, right, or straight out the back of the
dryer. Space requirements are listed in
your Installation Instructions.
4. Use the straightest path possible when
routing the exhaust vent. Avoid 90” turns,
if possible. Allow room when using elbows
or making turns. Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not
use screws to secure vent. Lint may catch
on screws.
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depend-
ing on use, but at least every 2 years, or
when installing your washer/dryer in a
new location.
l Disconnect vent from the washer/dryer
and clean one section at a time until you
reach the exhaust hood.
l Use the hose attachment on your
vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather
duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.
l Be sure the flapper on the outside end of
vent moves freely.
l When cleaning is complete, be sure
to follow the Installation Instructions
supplied with your washer/dryer for
final product check.
