Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent length
1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns when possible.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
The number of elbows used.
Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type
for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the
Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid
metal or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on
the same line as the number of elbows.
Vent Length Chart
Install Vent System
1. Before installing the vent system, be sure to remove the wire
exhaust guard that is located at the exhaust outlet.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.

Setting (
*
).
Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
fabrics.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
Cycles
Cycle Control knob
Perm Press
This automatic cycle shuts off the dryer when the selected
dryness is reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move
until the load is almost dry. After the cool down, the knob
automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (
*
).
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less the next time you dry a similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Drying cycle. The next time you dry a similar load,
select a setting closer to Very Dry.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric and size of load.
Air Cycle
Use this cycle for items that require drying without heat, such as
rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. See the chart for
examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located inside the dryer drum, on the back wall.
Clean it before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
To clean
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen straight out.
2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while pulling off the cover.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push the lint screen firmly
back into place and close the door.
IMPORTANT:
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural fibers
(polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other
towels, causing your dryers lint screen to fill up faster. Be
sure to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying
new towels.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months, or
more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both the lint screen cover and body with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen cover and body with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen body and cover with a clean towel.
Replace in dryer.
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very
warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the
stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside-
out to prevent dye transfer.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer
un décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
18
Utiliser un circuit indépendant uniquement pour la sécheuse.
Ne pas utiliser un cordon de rallonge.
Exigences concernant l'évacuation
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour réduire le risque dincendie,
cette séchuese DOIT S’ÉVACUER A LEXTÉRIEUR.
Utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en métal lourd de 4" (10,2 cm) et
des brides. Les produits d’évacuation DURASAFE sont
recommandés.
Les produits de ventilation DURASAFE peuvent être achetés
chez votre marchand ou en appelant le service Pièces et
accessoires de Whirlpool. Pour plus de renseignements, voir la
section Assistance ou service de ce manuel.
Le système d'évacuation de la sécheuse ne doit pas être
connecté à une évacuation de gaz, une cheminée, un mur, un
plafond ou un vide dans le bâtiment.
Ne pas utiliser un clapet d'évacuation à fermeture
magnétique.
Ne pas installer le conduit flexible dans les cavités fermées
des murs, plafonds ou planchers.
Utiliser des brides de serrage pour sceller tous les joints. Le
système d'évacuation ne doit pas être connecté ou fixé avec
des vis ou autres dispositifs de serrage qui se prolongent à
l'intérieur du conduit. Ne pas utiliser de ruban adhésif.
IMPORTANT : Respecter toutes les prescriptions des codes et
règlements en vigueur.
Utiliser un conduit métallique lourd. Ne pas utiliser un conduit de
plastique ou en feuille métallique.
On recommande d'utiliser un conduit métallique rigide pour
réduire les risques d'écrasement et de déformation.
Un conduit métallique souple doit être totalement déployé et
soutenu lorsque la sécheuse est à sa position finale. Enlever tout
excès de conduit souple en métal pour éviter tout affaissement et
déformation susceptibles de réduire la capacité d’évacuation.
Terminer le conduit d'évacuation par un clapet de décharge pour
empêcher les rongeurs et insectes d'entrer dans l'habitation.
Le clapet de décharge doit être situé à au moins 12" (30,5 cm)
au-dessus du sol ou de tout autre objet susceptible de se trouver
sur le trajet de l'air humide rejeté (par exemple, fleurs, roches ou
arbustes, etc.).
Lors de l'utilisation d'un système de décharge existant, nettoyer
et éliminer la charpie sur toute la longueur du système et veiller à
ce que le clapet de décharge ne soit pas obstrué par une
accumulation de charpie. Remplacer tout conduit de plastique ou
de feuille métallique par un conduit métallique rigide ou souple.
Pour une sécheuse reliée à la terre et connectée par
un cordon :
Cette sécheuse doit être reliée à la terre. En cas de mauvais
fonctionnement ou de panne, la liaison à la terre réduira le
risque de choc électrique en offrant au courant électrique un
acheminement d'évacuation de moindre résistance. Cette
sécheuse est alimentée par un cordon électrique comportant
un conducteur relié à la terre et une fiche de branchement
munie d'une broche de liaison à la terre. La fiche doit être
branchée sur une prise appropriée qui est bien installée et
reliée à la terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements
locaux.
INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON À LA TERRE
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT :
Le raccordement incorrect de
cet appareil au conducteur de liaison à la terre peut susciter
un risque de choc électrique. En cas de doute quant à la
qualité de liaison à la terre de la sécheuse, consulter un
électricien ou un technicien ou un personnel qualifié. Ne pas
modifier la fiche de branchement fournie avec la sécheuse;
si la fiche ne correspond pas à la configuration de la prise de
courant, demander à un électricien qualifié d'installer une
prise de courant appropriée.
Risque dincendie
Utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en métal lourd.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en plastique.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en feuille
de métal.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer
un décès ou un incendie.
AVERTISSEMENT
Une mauvaise évacuation de l'air peut causer de
l'humidité et une accumulation de charpie à l'intérieur de
la maison qui peut causer :
Dommages par l'humidité aux boiseries, meubles, peinture,
papier-peint, tapis, etc.
Problèmes de nettoyage dans la maison et problèmes
de santé.
19
Planification du système d'évacuation
Les installations typiques consistent à acheminer le conduit
d'évacuation à l'arrière de la sécheuse.
Autres installations où le dégagement est réduit
Il existe de nombreux systèmes d'évacuation. Choisir le système
qui convient le mieux à l'installation. Deux installations à
dégagement réduit sont illustrées. Consulter les instructions du
fabricant fournies avec le système d'évacuation.
REMARQUE : On peut acheter les trousses suivantes pour les
installations où le dégagement est réduit. Voir la section
Assistance ou Service pour commander.
Installation au-dessus de la sécheuse :
Pièce numéro 4396028
Installation de périscope (pour utilisation en cas de non-
concordance de la bouche de décharge de la sécheuse avec
la bouche d’évacuation murale)
Pièce numéro 4396037 Non-concordance de 0" (0 cm) à
18" (45,72 cm)

Dispositions spéciales pour les installations dans une
maison mobile
Le système d’évacuation doit être solidement fixé à une section
non combustible de la structure de la maison mobile et ne doit
pas se terminer en dessous de la maison mobile. Faire en sorte
que le système d’évacuation se termine à lextérieur.
Détermination de la longueur du conduit
1. Choisir l'itinéraire d'acheminement vers l'extérieur qui sera le
plus direct et le plus rectiligne. Planifier l'installation pour
introduire le nombre minimal de coudes et changements de
direction. Si des coudes sont utilisés pour les changements
de direction, prévoir autant d'espace que possible. Plier le
conduit graduellement pour éviter de le déformer. Éviter les
changements de direction de 90º si possible.
2. Déterminer la longueur du conduit.
La longueur maximale du circuit de décharge dépend de
plusieurs facteurs :
Le type de conduit (métal rigide ou souple).
Le nombre de coudes incorporés au circuit.
Type de clapet.
Les styles de clapet recommandés sont illustrés ci-dessous.
